This implies that something in RT_SiteConfig.pm is specified
incorrectly.  You say you set up GnuPG which uses hashes.  I'd check
that setup carefully, or show it to the list.

To diagnose something like this you need to say a lot more about your
setup.  Is this the webserver and dbserver or only the webserver?
What deployment option are you using (mod_perl, fcgi, something else)?
How large is each individual apache child, is there one huge one or
are they all large?  Assuming a webserver only with apache, you may
need to tell Apache to only start a few children, and limit the max
children so that it can't grow unbounded.
