Hello guys,
Since  a month ago the website hosted on dreamhost was randomly down,
for few minutes before i launch a new request or kill all python
processes.

e.g
Tasks:  21 total,   1 running,  12 sleeping,   0 stopped,   8 zombie

I found this TextDrive topic on
http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=10335

Steve 9 contribution
"I think what is happening (with maxspare=1) is when a new page request
come in a second child process is created since maxchildren=2, but
after it finishes it gets killed because maxspare=1. The killed process
hangs around for a second and sometimes gets noticed by the watchdog,
which then kills the parent process (operating under the assumption
that's the only way to kill the zombie child process). Whew!""

Any idea on how to fix these problems on dreamhost ? if not i will
submit a ticket.
Thanks.
