Something that Majestic's crawling software does manages to push my httpd process to 100%.

Doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, a Majestic user-agent is involved. I still haven't figured out WHAT they're sending that triggers it.

It's a little troubling that a couple of non-malicious fetches from my web server manages to effortlessly DoS it.
