We have been running Apache (various versions) for a while now,
with no crippling problems. However, today we have a new demon,
and we are clueless where it came from. The server starts fine
from our rc.local file, but when we send a restart signal to it
(kill -1 pid), it gives us this:

After this kills the httpd, it will not run normally either, giving the
same error. Only rebooting the machine helps. We are running Linux
1.2.13 (ELF) and Apache 1.0.3. This problem exists with 1.0.0, and
0.8.14 as well. Since this problem _just_ cropped up, we think it
is not just an Apache problem, but some combination between our machine
and Apache. Ever seen anything like this before?
