The reason that I restarted apache was that I assumed that we had a
large number of httpd client processes stuck in a semi-infinite Python
loop; not a worry about dangling FDs.

Sure. I doubt we need anything as big as label just to host LDAP though.
("big" used advisably. It's a dual-PIV-Xeon with 2GB of RAM.)

So, as long as we don't have a better home for live.gnome.org, it makes
more sense to me to leave live.gnome.org on there and move LDAP
elsewhere to a machine that doesn't host websites or other services
with highly variable loads and a tendency to run amok.
