as this seemed the only place to ask my question, here it goes: is it ever possible that Apache (as we currently know it) makes a fork of a child process, which has already processed some requests?
Yes. When the child receives a request for a CGI script, it forks itself and the new child (child of the original child) then executes the external CGI program. When the external CGI program exists, the new child ends.
As this may or may not be the situation you are concerned about, can you tell us what problem you are trying to solve or why you are asking the question? Knowing this might help us help you better.
