Description

After repeated gateway failovers I noticed I wasn't able to login any more using https or ssh.
I would then get an email that a gateway is or was down.
After days (I'm not on location but routing mostly worked) I finally was able to get into a shell and run top - I saw hundreds of php-cgi processes taking up about 3.5 of 4 GB ram
killall php-cgi would only help for seconds, after which the processes were respawned.
Only after using killall on the minicron processes, this behavior stopped.
