            Bug ID: 258767
           Summary: apache24 2.4.49 stops accepting connections
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

Upgraded apache24 via pkg from 2.4.48 to 2.4.49 on a moderately heavy web
server that has been running solidly for 30+ days, and within about 6 hours it
stopped responding to requests.

The httpd process was still running, memory usage was fine, CPU load was fine,
and no errors in logs.  Running "apachectl restart" fixed the issue, but would
likely only be temporary.

This appears to be a common problem in Apache HTTPd 2.4.49 as also reported
here:

Solution is to revert to previous 2.4.48 version.

Sadly, 2.4.49 has patches for several CVEs.
