Description:
------------
After several months of proper behavior and no system 
changes, apache2/php are no longer consistently applying 
php_value and php_flag settings from .htaccess files.

I create a .htaccess file including the following 
settings (which differ from their php.ini values):

php_flag display_errors On
php_flag register_globals On

Between 5-10% of web requests do not take these settings 
into account.  A phpinfo() script, reloaded repeatedly 
produces the php.ini (and not the .htaccess) values some 
of the time, and scripts relying on these settings 
occasionally break.

This began occurring without warning, and may related to 
the addition of ~12 VirtualHosts to apache

Are you sure you are running 4.3.6? 4.3.6 has been out for 
just over a month. The error you've describe is reminiscent 
of a ini leak solved by 4.3.6.

Yes, I am using 4.3.6.  I encountered that ini leak bug 
in 4.3.4 and limped by with MaxRequestsPerChild 1 until 
4.3.5 came out.

However, in this case, setting MaxRequestsPerChild 1 
does not appear to have any effect.

It is worth describing how php settings are managed.  
In addition to the php.ini file, each VirtualHost gets 
php settings via a Directory directive.

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName www.example.com
  ServerAlias example.com
  DocumentRoot /www/virtual/example.com/www
  ErrorLog /www/virtual/example.com/logs/error_log
</VirtualHost>

<Directory /www/virtual/example.com/www>
  php_value session.save_path /www/virtual/example.com/
tmp
  php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /www/virtual/
example.com/tmp
  php_admin_value doc_root /www/virtual/example.com/www
  php_admin_value open_basedir /www/lib/:/www/virtual/
example.com/
  php_admin_value sendmail_from support@pajunas.net
  SetEnv PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT /www/virtual/example.com/www
  SetEnv PHPRC /www/virtual/example.com/conf
</Directory>

Things have been fine this way, but the only change on 
the system before the .htaccess problem was the 
addition of several VirtualHosts.
