You are correct. The worker MPM will wait infinitely for its
children to come back. If it never exits (due to an infinite loop in
BDB), then that could be a problem.

Perhaps sending an email to the dev@httpd list asking about this
would be beneficial. Not sure how you would do this since the
pthread_join call is usually blocking. Perhaps doing a pthread_kill
with SIGKILL beforehand might be helpful. Anyway, dev@svn isn't the
right forum for this part of the bug. -- justin
