I have been operating an Apache 2.2 server with Win XP OS for three months. I initially used rotatelogs in a piped configuration to rotate the access log. I quit using that rotation method when I discovered many instances of the rotatelogs program residing in memory and not releasing. I switched to a rotation module that rotates my logs at midnight that works quite well... however, in the last two days I have noticed that the many instances of rotatelogs are still in memory and now there are two instances of hpptd.exe running instead of the previous normal of one. So far these oddities have not caused any problems but I am asking - are these precursors of future memory instabilities and what should I do about them (if anything)?
rotatelogs is not started by apache unless you request it. As far as two httpd processes, that is completely normal. One is a "supervisor" process that will relaunch the child process should it fail.
