Processes dont stop when stopping Apache

Hi!

I´m quite desperate right now. For nearly two weeks I try to get my perl 
scripts run as fastcgi app.
Searched google, read and reread the docs, tried SuSE 9.1, SuSE 9.2, 
compiled the packages myself,
tried different configurations, wrote in forums and mailing-lists, ...

Its just the same: The scripts run as FastCGI, thats not the problem.

THE PROBLEM IS: The fcgi-processes are not terminated when stopping or 
reloading Apache!
Everytime I restart Apache (when running as dynamic I have to do a 
request of course)
another process is started. But it also runs when Apache is stopped.
So I get at least 5 unstopped processes when starting/stopping Apache 
5-times!

Or is this behavior just OK and I simply dont understand fcgi? :(
Maybe its just some stupid mistake but I cant find it.
Or is it a bug?

Could it be a configuration problem?

I tried with SuSE 9.1 and 9.2, first with the Apache2 and mod_fastcgi 
packages from SuSE CDs
and later also compiled mod_fastcgi myself. The same behavior in all 
varations.

The fastcgi module is beeing loaded. The Directive is in the Apache 
conf-Files (in SuSE you dont
edit this yourself, the conf-file is autocreated from 
/etc/sysconfig/apache2 where you tell to load the module)

When you install mod_fastcgi from the package, a mod_fastcgi.conf is 
also installed. It already has
the "AddHandler fastcgi-script fcg fcgi fpl" directive

So I didnt configure anything at all, as it already worked this way. 
When reading the doc I didnt find a directive
which could lead to the problem. Its just for optimizing how fcgi works.

In case I´m runnung as static app I have the FastCgiServer Directive 
pointing to my script. Again without further params or options.

I ran scripts on a vhost and on the standard host of apache. The example 
perl.script on fastcgi.com works fine,
the counter grows as doing some requests.

Running "ps ax | grep fcgi" delivers two processes:
- fcgi-pm
- /usr/bin/perl     /srv/.../test.fcgi

I stop apache with "/etc/rc.d/apache2 stop"
everything is beeing terminated.

Running "ps ax | grep fcgi" delivers:
- /usr/bin/perl/   /srv/.../test.fcgi

So the process-manager is stopped by Apache, but the perl script isn´t 
stopped by the process manager!

I also tried to run Apache as worker not as prefork. Its just the same!


some version info:
Perl 5.8.3
Apache 2.0.49/2.0.50
apache2_mod_fastcgi 2.4.0/2.4.2
FCGI.pm 0.67

Help in every way is very welcome!

I would try to fix it myself. But I´m just hacking perl. I would love to 
do C, but in this case it needs more than another 2 weeks to get this 
fixed ;)

But: Maybe its just me doing a simple stupid dumb thing wrong.
It cant be its not running on my machine but on all others, can it?

thanks
Albert
