Error description
IHS 2.0.42.2 on HP 11.0, child runs out of memory, parent sees
fatel error and exits also ---

this is the sequence of events:
1. the number of idle httpd threads dropped below
MinSpareThreads (25)
2. the httpd parent noticed this and decided to fork another
child
3. the new child started initializing, ran out of memory, and
exited telling the parent that it encountered a fatal error
4. the parent saw the fatal error and exited also.
this could be handled more gracefully.
from the error log:
■Tue Mar 29 09:54:48 2005 ■alert (12)Not enough space:
apr_thread_create: unable to create worker thread
■Tue Mar 29 09:54:59 2005 ■alert Child 11700 returned a Fatal
error... Apache is exiting!
