Steve,

We do run PHP 4.2.3 under Apache 2 on RedHat 8, and we noticed this
issue with processes never terminating at the time (I had forgotten
about it until you wrote this).  We found that it seems related to
writing to stderr, so if you remove the --enable-debug in your MapScript
build you should be fine.  We never took the time to investigate any
further to find the correct way to log messages to stderr under Apache
2.

BTW, I think you wrote a Wiki page about setting up MapServer/MapScript
on RH8, perhaps it would be a good idea to add a note about this issue
in it.
