Hi, I finally could produce the httpd blocked problem and ran a script to dump 
stack of all running processes/threads.
They strangely look all quite the same! I attach here all the httpd threads 
dumps, maybe you can help us see why it was blocked?
 
Thanks!
Gabriele

"requests currently being processed" would probably increase if
threads are permanently blocked. I would recommend logging this every
few seconds, so that you can at least check after the fact how quickly
the system filled up.

You should have ExtendedStatus enabled, which should give you a
complete list of all threads and their states. Any that are active
(probably "W", definitively not "." or "_") processing a single
request for extended periods are suspicious, especially if multiple of
the same kind strat piling up.

If httpd does not respond to requests anymore, and you have multiple
worker childs, you can sometimes get away with killing one and try to
squeeze a status request in there before it gets overrun again.

Anyway, serverstatus will only provide rough hints of what's going on.
If it is indeed httpd, you'll probably need gdb backtraces.
