While your tracking this down you can change your 'MaxRequestsPerChild' setting in apache. > > Is there a way to show all memory in use and therefore make it easy to > identify the problem?

You can ./configure --enable-debug with php and it will detect memory leaks, php will issue an E_WARNING if a memory detection occurs. if this is a production server, make sure that php is loggin to syslog and display_errors = off.
