i started to experiment, it indeed is apache module related. so are you 
that lucky one that you don't need mod_php in your apaches?

as appears it goes down to these php modules:
Tue Oct  7 15:18:24 2014 php53-pcre-5.3.29-1.i686
Tue Oct  7 15:19:30 2014 php53-session-5.3.29-1.i686
Tue Oct  7 15:19:30 2014 php53-simplexml-5.3.29-1.i686
Tue Oct  7 15:19:30 2014 php53-spl-5.3.29-1.i686

installing or removing these modules (they have dependency loops, so 
packages are all in or all out) the reproduce rate is 100% or 0%. and 
more specifically. disabling session php module (in .ini file) makes 
reproduce rate at 0%.

so what is that module doing that makes apache shutdown to delay leaving 
resource occipied?
