        I've never configured the NCSA server,  but can't it be run
from inetd?   Modularity helps,  especially in cases like this.
Now there's good reason for  NOT  running a web server from inetd
(keeping program text around,  having data structures loaded,  etc),
but it might help you isolate things if you were able to switch to
inetd mode while chasing this down.   Of course,  it might mean that
everything else served through inetd would hang along with HTTPD.   ;-)
