kill -9 solves the problem. But the apache2.sh in /usr/local/rc.d
cannot restart it properly.
root at orion:/home/leafy# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh restart
Performing sanity check on apache2 configuration:
Syntax OK
Stopping apache2.

it goes on.....
 Also, the unkillable has only 1 thread as shown in the top output.
