Thanks Scott for quick reply. If it's a bug I can live with it, but I 
wasn't sure if I had just misconfigured something. Can I just ask for a 
bit of clarification on the last para? Do you mean 'switching to a 
modern MPM like Worker'. This server runs a few sites which are mainly 
written in PHP, which doesn't properly support the multi-thread MPM (a 
fairly major flaw in PHP, to say the least), so we may have no option 
but default Apache prefork, although I guess we could test to see how 
stable it is...
