I believe this has been the subject of long discussion in numerous
threads about 6 months ago.

Basically, Perl's signal handling is flawed and there is probably
not much we can do about it. Setting MaxServers to zero means that
USR1 and USR2 will not be used to notify the master server of child
activity. In RPC mode, that is not needed unless you are on a very
tight memory schedule.

I think that I will change the 4.9 default in PreFork mode to zero,
as it is probably best for the majority of installations that need
PreFork mode.
