I am seeing something similar.  Apache 1.3.9 with openssl 0.9.4
on solaris 2.6.  Everything seems ok and periodically, what I will
assume to be under some reasonable load, I find that I have many
httpd processes running (I believe it is my max) and apache
is no longer responding to SSL requests.  It seems that it does
respond to non-ssl requests.  Doing an apachectl restart heals
things.  I have played with the apache parameters for number of
children and so on, no effect.  I now I have loglevel info for ssl
to see if I can see something useful the next time it happens.
Is anyone else seeing similar behavior?  I am beginning to believe
this is not necessarily an apache problem -- and that is not a
scientifically derived belief.
