Jorey,

Thank you for the response.  I should have included more information in my
original message.

All sent requests are exactly alike; including url, cookies, etc.  The
access log reports either a 200 or 404 error, consistent upon what was sent
to the client.  Again, there is no rhyme or rhythm to it.  The 404's just
seem to be more prevalent when system processes exceed 90% of resources.
Curiously, the error log does not reflect these 404's (no 'File does not
exist:' or 'mod_python.publisher:' errors).

While doing a little research, I had discovered this particular instance
back in 2003:

which relates to our problem almost perfectly.  Unfortunately, there are no
provided solutions.
