What causes Django to use 500.html only 3 out of 6 times?

This is the bizarre.

I have a 500.html template below. When I refer to a page that does not exist via the url, my 500.html will show three times (if I try to reload the page repeatedly), then I get the apache Internal Server Error three times. My broser keeps flipping between the two.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Page unavailable</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Page unavailable</h1>
    <p>Sorry, but the requested page is unavailable due to a
    server hiccup.</p>
    <p>Our engineers have been notified, so check back later.</p>
</body>
</html>

During the three times I get the Apache Internal Server Error, the error logs say 500.html does not exist - but it does. It pulled it up three times before.

I cleared the cache and tried a different browser with the same results.

Thanks for any help.

I would try restarting apache. I've noticed inconsistencies in how urls are handled after any change. This sounds very similar to a problem I had when a url would sometimes load on refresh.
