apache problem..

[funnytherun]

Hi,
we worked on apache 1.3 with mod_fastcgi.. aftere update to 2.2.14 version (wit mod_fastcgi) we have problem.. we have a few servers with this problem..
Apache consumes suddenly all of memory and swapping (all allocated swap memory !), load is growing up and machines not responsible.. it's very often.. we don't know what to do with this.. We updated this stuff to 2.2 version because in 1.3 greaceful restarts wiht DA not working properly..
Servers have installed 4gigs of ram..
Any conception ?

some of ps:
