apache runaway


I believe I have found a case where Apache (or some httpd children) steal
all processor time:

Here are what appear to be the conditions:

1. Have directories (such as for log files) owned by SYSTEM.None
2. Start Apache from Windows Services as LocalSystem
3. as some user other than SYSTEM ... $apachectrl restart

I think that should reproduce the problem. Be aware that it may take some
time to get your system back again by killing the runaway httpd processes
through the Windoz task manager.

Now I've several dir's for log files (VHosts) so I haven't bothered to
actually verify that chown'ing these dir's to something else makes this
problem disappear. But I think this is a pretty good WAG as to how to
reproduce this problem. If not, let me know and I can try to provide more
info as necessary.
