Apache children get killed and re-spawned after the number of requests defined by MaxRequestsPerChild, the default is 10,000. Though MINI talways get called for each child spawned.

Is Apache using pre-fork or worker?

is still running just fine.

The setup is Apache 2.2 / PHP 5.2 on Fedora 7.

I personally have not been able to replicate this problem but I'm
thinking it must be an Apache worker exiting that's triggering deinit.
I know Apache 1.x has that behavior and I'm wondering if anyone knows
if 2.2 exhibits that behavior. It's annoying because it means that the
module initialization is called once whereas the deinitialization
routine is called many times.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I would appreciate any insight as to how I can ensure that my module
is deinitialized only once. My first thought is to simply save the pid
of the process that initialized the module and check for it in the
deinitialization routine.
