I've reproduced this in a Hardy VM with 128MB of memory.

Beyond the default server install, I installed:
apache2-mpm-worker ssl-cert

I enabled ssl with a2enmod.

I created a very simple ssl config for apache and enabled it with
a2ensite.

Then, from the VM host, I ran:
time ab -n 100000 -c 20 -f tls1 https://192.168.122.74:443/

It locked up the VM.  I could see apache2 consuming all virtual memory,
and the load pegged at 20.87.

Interestingly, I couldn't shutdown or ctrl-alt-delete the VM to
gracefully reset it to a sane state.
