Henri Bergius has a new bit posted today about some memory issues that he's discovered with his MidCOM project and Apache 2.

We've gotten several problems of memory leaking with MidCOM used with PHP4 and Apache2 on both Fedora and Debian platforms. At first memory leaks on Midgard 1.7 were suspected, but after extensive testing this theory was discarded.

Then we received reports of similar problems on Moodle running on Apache 2, which seems to point at some specific PHP function utilized by both leaking.

They're still looking for a cause and aren't sure what PHP function might be responsible. If your a user of the MidCOM software, you might poke around as well and see if there's anything you could figure out and let Henri know...
