Coldfusion 10 Enterprise with Tomcat + mod_jk and Apache2 experiencing child process hangups

I am experiencing the most bizarre thing that so far I am unable to reproduce with my own visits to the site.

After restarting Apache2 my cacti graphs show that the child processes increment consistently over the course of a day without dropping back down during off hours.  This behavior eventually leaves the website inaccessible...

Looking at server-status it is filled with Ws (Sending Reply) and GET calls to my cfm applications :

I have straced a hung process to only find the following :

strace -p 6472

Process 6472 attached - interrupt to quit

read(23,

Another interesting bit of info, none of these GET requests make it into my access.log file which I find very peculiar as well.

Here are my CF Specs

I am hoping this is no normal behavior for Coldfusion 10.

Many thanks in advance.
