This could be an occurence of a known Solaris/Apache bug = which I have
also experienced.  Have a look at bug number 7159 v= ia http://bugs.apache= .org/.  

If you run a system call trace on the problem process wit= h "truss",
you will probably  find that it is stuck in some ki= nd of I/O call.
If this is the same bug, then it is impossible to kill t= he process.

I don't have a complete explanation, but I can say that t= his
problem does not seem to appear with Apache 1.3.22 on So= laris 5.7.
So my suggestion would be to upgrade.

Regards,
Adam
