Back then you mentioned that apache suexec was broken. Do you have
any more details?
I would like to make certain the apache suexec issue is fixed but
without a few details I can't do that. I tried looking but I can't
find an public report about apache suexec being broken.
My goal is to come up with a very careful and conservative set of
patches that fix all of the known issues with RLIMIT_NPROC.
