Hi Phil,

No good. :-(
A few things to check:
1) Apache spawning multiple processes is normal. Do you see a *lot of extra*
processes coming into existance after calling some page?

2) What does a simple script containing only phpinfo(); produce?
Does that hang too?

3) Check your Apache logfiles. Look for errors.
