Looking at:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#maxrequestsperchild

-> Default: MaxRequestsPerChild 10000

but we have 0 - "If MaxRequestsPerChild is 0, then the process will
never expire."

I'll set to 10000 and restart since Apache is blocked continuously and
  http://webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org/munin/osgeo.org/projects.osgeo.org-apache_processes.html
looks bad for some days (I wonder what happened).
