Package: apache2-mpm-worker Version: 2.0.55-4 Kernel version: Linux 2.6.12 #2 SMP i686 GNU/Linux
Steps to Reproduce: 1) Create a site config file test in /etc/apache2/sites-available by using following command: cd /etc/apache2/sites-available echo Listen 1234 > test 2) Enable site test and reload a2ensite test /etc/init.d/apache2 reload 3) Disable site test and reload a2dissite test /etc/init.d/apache2 reload After this reloading, apache will begin to use up all memory rapidly and finally be killed by linux kernel. It can use up 2G memory in just 5 seconds! There is another server with the same apache2 version but using apache2-mpm-prefork model doesn't have this problem. This problem won't happen if I use "/etc/init.d/apache2 restart". I have reported this problem to apache2 but they can't reproduce this problem on their system. Thanks.
