#34 Phantom connections keep growing

[Tigerwolf]

Using latest cband with Apache 2.0.59. It works fine at first, but over time (hours), the number of connections reported by Cband in the Virtual Server list box and Server Summary box continues to grow, which ultimately results in slowing the overall server to a crawl. The total number of connections in the Virtual Hosts list and Server Summary boxes shows much higher than any of the sum total in the Remote Clients box, or the Apache server-status page, or in a netstat listing. The total Cband connections does rise and fall according to the server usage, but the number of 'phantom' connections always grows and seem to never go away, even if there's no real connections to the server at all. Using the Cband 'reset' functions from the web interface don't help. To date, only restarting Apache will bring the Cband connection number back to reality.

I have the exact same problem under Apache 2.4.4 if anyone cares. Actually this is probably from intermittent child seg faults which confuse mod_cband.
