That's what's happening. I see that one work-around would be to have
cron periodically send a kill signal to the parent. But it pains me to
even mention such a lame and problematic hack.

Easier said than done given the original state of my concentration /
coding skills and the subsequent deterioration from that state.

Where is it that the problem most likely lies?
Apache2, perl or the heinous 'apt-cacher' script called by Apache2?
/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/apt-cacher -d -p /var/run/apt-cacher.pid
Looking ahead, what is the timeline for moving to Apache2?
Or what are the major reasons 4.3 is going to still use 1.3x?
