Jailed Apache1.3, processes won't die

[markzero]

Hi.

I'm using a standard install of FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE.

I have a minimal jail, configured in the usual manner (a minimal install
into a directory). I installed Apache 1.3 from ports into the jail and
all seemed to be well until I tried:

  # apachectl restart

The error log said:

[Sun Nov 27 20:51:30 2005] [notice] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart
[Sun Nov 27 20:51:31 2005] [notice] Apache/1.3.34 (Unix) configured -- resuming normal operations

[Sun Nov 27 20:51:31 2005] [notice] Accept mutex: flock (Default: flock)

For some reason, the processes will not die. The old processes prior to
the restart die by themselves in the usual way (when 'consumed' by an
HTTP request) and the parent process creates new processes to fill the
spots. All is apparently well.

However, if I do this:

  # apachectl stop

I get the same error message as above and the old child processes still
occupy the port and the server cannot be restarted. Effectively, the
http server will not shut down (and believes that it HAS shut down) and
then will not be restarted.

The only way to rectify the situation is to log into the host machine
and kill the httpd processes running in the jail.

What is going on here?

Anybody experiencing this?
