If I might remind you of his original reports (from earlier this month):

He is running on dangerously low physical RAM machines. Windows (as a rule)
does not gracefully handle low memory situations. The swap on Windows is not
employed in quite the same fashion as the swap on *nix boxen (meaning that
frequently more swap is slower than less). Between the Berkeley DLL's and
Apache itself, I suspect he has virtually no free RAM available. If he
configured Apache to start fewer child processes, he might be in better shape.

I think he is simply swapping himself to death and triggering edge conditions in
Berkeley because of it.
