[Bug 595116] Re: ssl "error reading the headers"

[Robert Sanders]

I was having this issue, or at least the one in the Server Fault topic
linked near the top - e.g .I was getting this with SVN over HTTPS w/
BASIC Auth.

I had been able to work around it by setting MaxRequestsPerChild to some
lowish number like 150, as it had been affecting me intermittently.
Yesterday evening ( July 21, 2010 ) I ran some updates yesterday , and
the problem got a whole lot worse - it was happening on every single
request.  I ended up disabling all the modules I didn't actually have to
have; after turning off mod_status the problem seems to have gone away.
I did disable a number of other modules first, but turning off
mod_status seems to be the key.  I probably won't have too much time to
experiment with configurations, but maybe someone with more in depth
understanding of Apache2 internals can find the issue.

P.S. My configuration is:  Lucid, on a 32 bit EC2 AMI (small), running
on an EBS boot disk (the image from alestic.com).
