apache20 going nuts

[Jeff Mohler]

I was just there on 5.1 for the last few months..when I did a
kdump/ktrace, I saw invalid fnctl's just sucking things up.

I nailed it down to something in PHP, because I could trigger this
immediately by uploading photos to my coppermine installation, or
randomly with zencart.

Moving those services to another box but still using mysql on the
questionable server was just fine, so I said phuk it and built a new
faster box on 6.1 with apache22, the 5.1 sql server, and the latest
5.x PHP.

its been fine, and fast as heck.

IE: I gave up on finding the problem as its beyond my skills.
