[Erin Fortenberry]

I have been having zombie problems with apache/suexec.

>From this bug;

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21737


I tested the patch;

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=7407

I know this is not an "official" patch, but it worked for me.

If anyone else has been having problems try it out.


The patch I installed ended up looking like this;
