[Bug 199144] [NEW] Apache2 with mpm_worker times out with many concurrent requests

[Matteo Sasso]

Public bug reported:

On a fresh Gutsy Gibbon (server edition) I installed apache2
(Apache/2.2.4), php5-cgi and libapache2-mod-fastcgi. I enabled the
fastcgi and action modules in apache configuration. I also added a
couple of lines to make it run PHP files but I don't think this has
anything to do with the problem.

When I run the apache benchmark as follows:
ab -c 100 -n 1000 http://yaddayadda/

Sooner or later I get the following error message:
apr_poll: The timeout specified has expired (70007)

Seems one of the worker threads hangs or something. I got lucky once and
managed to complete the benchmark, but it usually ends after a little
more than 100 requests.

This is my first bug report for ubuntu so feel free to ask for more
info.
