Apache server hangs when 8 ssh sessions are active.

Hi,

I ran into this very strange problem, on which the apache server hangs
if I have more than 8 users connected to ssh / sftp on the same
server.

The moment one if the users log out, that apache recover, and work as
usual.
No log records are created when it hangs, and there's no access log
record regarding the
access trials.

System information:
Operationg system: Windows 2k SP4.
Apache: 2.2.4 Mode ssl (it even hanged when not on mode ssl....).
(2.2.4Win3 Mode _ssl open ssl 0.9.8D)
Cygwin: 5.0 with Open SSH V4.7p1-2 (with open ssl 0.9.8E)
PHP: V5.2.3

Order of installation:
- Apache.
- Open ssl (0.9.8D).
- Mode ssl (of the Apache)
- PHP.
- Cygwin.
- Cygwins sshd(V4.7p1-2)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Empi
