That's consistent when a handler is defined. There will be no such error logged if SetHandler or AddHandler expects to handle that location or file extension, but the 404 will be recorded in your access log. > While doing a little research, I had discovered this particular instance > back in 2003: > > http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2003-February/013443.html > > which relates to our problem almost perfectly.

Unfortunately, you may have to tweak your code in some places, depending on your usage, so you could end up troubleshooting more than one problem. Perhaps you can set up a test environment using virtual servers that duplicates your production environment closely enough to put some load on it (by reducing available memory, for example). If the problem is resource related, can you still add RAM to your production machine?
