Litespeed (lshttpd) process by nobody taking up 100% CPU - 4.1.12

[hd-sam]

I'm running 4.1.12 on a cPanel server and there is a process by user nobody taking up all the CPU. If I switch to Apache the load is much lower. I'm not sure if this is due to the update or not but it did happen shortly after I updated to 4.1.12. We are running PHP 5.2.17:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
10672 nobody 0 -19 187m 94m 12m R 117.3 1.2 6:01.22 litespeed (lshttpd)

switch to LSWS 4.1.11 and see any difference.

Also, I ran apache on port 80 overnight and had LS running on port 2080.

The server crashed this morning, looks like all the memory was eaten up.
I checked the error log and there were pages and pages of this:

I uninstalled 4.1.12, and reinstalled LSWS 4.1.11... Built the matching PHP Binary and So far so good.

I don't see that process anywhere near the top and the Load is down to 1.30 (down from 4.5).

I'll watch it today and update this thread

Everything is back to normal now that we downgraded to 4.1.11

Thank you
