Apache child processes get stuck in W mode

Hi guys!

 

Let me explain my problem...

 

In Apache status page I can see few child processes stuck in "W" mode for few hours/days, while executing certain request (POST /index.php HTTP/1.1).

 

Funny thing is that all these "stuck" connections have 0 kb transferred. Also, when I restart Apache these processes won't die, but I have to kill them manually.

 

I traced all the offending IPs as Spam Bots. Shouldn't the Apache kill (timeout is set to 30) the connections after a while?

 

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
