The hang was resolved by the patch (httpd and MPE NS patches).  Everything
is just wonderful except for my aforementioned problems, which are almost
certainly related to lower bound of contiguous free space.  As long as I
keep the space adequate, I have no problems (don't let me scare anyone away
from httpd because of my situation).  I have a new 2Gb drive to install in
the very near future so this may be a non-problem for practical purposes,
but for sites with limited contiguous free space I am very concerned since
my problems are a fairly blatantly obvious bug.  I don't want to make it
simply "go away" and have the next person down the line go through the same
experience.  I'd like it to be addressed and fixed now, so I'm hesitant to
install the new drive until I get some satisfaction on this problem :-)
 
For others running httpd, what is your lower bound of contiguous free space
in the system volume set?  I think I may have a unique environment here.
