Getting odd timeouts on any cgi scripts. The scripts have been around for years and dont error on typical submissions. Randomly they post Error 500 along with
(62)Timer expired poll failed waiting for CGI child

Looking at the logs, I see crawlers getting Timeouts around the same time as real users. Anyone seen anything like this before? For now I'm going to block the crawlers and see if we get any improvements.

Apache 2.2.9

Well it seems that the perl script runs longer than 60 seconds and than apache won't wait any longer.
I don't know how to increase the max execution time in perl.
