So you are probably using 2.0.40? If so, you should upgrade to the latest
release (2.0.46) and I bet the problem will go away. Earlier releases of
apache 2 would queue up the entire request in order to determine the
content-length.

Well, I found this seems to be a known bug, reopened some time ago on
bugzilla.
cf. http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11427.

No. The bug you posted to is almost certainly win32 specific.

As I said, you need to start by upgrading to the most recent apache.

Not sure at all. All posts really sounds like my problem.

I missed that part, sorry.

But if you are going to report a memory leak, you need to be extremely
specific about your system. You haven't said what modules you are using,
what changes you have made from the default config, etc.
