PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN bug?

[pgentoo]

It looks like there is a bug in PHP where it doesn't always cleanup the php-cgi processes when you use PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN in the php5-fcgi-starter.

I've noticed this where i'd have many more processes running for a site than the PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN specified. Restarting apache wouldn't even clean them up, I'd have to kill -9 them.

I commented out these lines and did some tweaks to the global configuration in the fcgid_ispcp.conf and its working much better.

Should we keep these settings in the starter script for any real reason, so should they not be default, since there are known issues with PHP?

Just thought I'd throw that out there...

Here is my current fcgid_ispcp.conf for reference

Code:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
  AddHandler fcgid-script .php .php5

  IPCConnectTimeout 90
  IdleTimeout 300
  IdleScanInterval 120
  ProcessLifeTime 900
  MaxProcessCount 200
  DefaultMinClassProcessCount 1
  DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 5
  IPCCommTimeout 300
  BusyTimeout 300
  BusyScanInterval 120
  ErrorScanInterval 3
  MaxRequestsPerProcess 500
  ZombieScanInterval 3

</IfModule>

One of my sites is getting about 1-2million page "hits" per day (reported by awstats), and this seems to be holding up fine.

Thoughts?
