I'm running my search server using apache2/fastcgi -- this moves the  
search instances into a separate process and avoids all of these  
problems quite nicely.

Our apache config is here:

Our "main" for the server is here:

Switching from mod-python to fastcgi took me less than 2 hours time  
and has been working great for us.
