>Description:
mpm -- threaded

The server always started with 3 processes.  
>How-To-Repeat:
1) change "StartServers" to 1 in <IfModule threaded.c> block
2) restart server
I expect there is only 1 process created
>Fix:
in threaded.c:
the function threaded_pre_config() has the following code:
ap_daemons_to_start = DEFAULT_START_DAEMON;

we might want to do the following:
if (ap_daemons_to_start == 0)
  ap_daemons_to_start = DEFAULT_START_DAEMON;
