Apache 1.3.3 hangs; unable to kill children

Digital Unix 4.0B (problem may not be exclusive to DU)
Apache 1.3.3

Apache hangs, browsers receive no response for over 2 minutes or more.
Can only kill the root httpd process, unable to kill children: kill -9 PID
completes without errors, but the processes do not die. Trying to page
the access_log freezes the terminal session, unable to kill 'tail' or 'less'
that are used to look at the log.
'ps auwx' returns all httpd and relevant tail processes marked as 'U' -
uninterruptable sleeping process. i am not sure if this is at all relevant
to the problem described above.

any help would be appreciated.
