Please reply to the list as well.

How did you verify that? It will spawn a new connection silently, if the
old got dropped. Did you really verify your logs, that you don't get
more new connections than Apache spawns workers? This might not be
noticeable for you, if you are running Apache. In a FCGI environment
where you have a fixed amount of workers, you notice new connections, as
there should not be any.
