I don't have any idea why you blame Apache, but I'll take it as a
fact, and try to help you with Apache. But before reading my
following tip, RTFM (in related issues like "ps") to learn methods
to find the exact criminal.
Anyway, assuming that Apache is the criminal, edit its httpd.conf,
and look for the line "MaxRequestsPerChild 0". If there is no 0
(but, for example, 100), then the problem is probably not with
Apache. If it is 0, change it to 100, and re-start Apache. If you
are not sure how to re-start Apache (under some platforms it
requires a call to apachectl, under others it requires kill -HUP
a PID found in httpd.pid, and under others it requires an init.d
restart of the relevant script), just re-boot.
Note: This is NOT a solution for the cause of the memory leak, but
only a workaround.
BTW: I found a very impressive product for Apache, which is going
to be announced soon. For more details, look at:

Exactly a year ago I was the first to tell the list about what I
thought was going to be a killer app - VMware. I don't think that
this one will gain the same success, but I promise you that we
will hear a lot about it in the future.
