I have this weird problem. Sometime httpd dies, without say why, nothing in the logs, not even a coredump.
On the web users end, the page just stops being displayed.
On the server side, The script just stops executing.
At first I thought it was a code issue, so I put traces in a cgi script to try to find out where the script would end. The traces would not even be writen when the problem happened, so I open/write/close the log file at every trace statement I put. With that approach I saw that the script would end at any point, even in the middle of a print statement.
This would bring me to beleive that the httpd just dies. But I get nothing in the logs, absolutely nothing.
It happens on servers doing mod_perl, on others doing cgi/perl, on apache 1.3. I haven't tested on mod_php n or on apache 2.0.
As anyone seen this?
Any hints as to were to look?

Well Only one httpd instance (child) dies, the other instances work perfectly.
