thanks everybody


just for the history, i did a 

gdb httpd2 PID
and on the (gdb) prompt i did a gcore.

I got a file named core.PID
and examining it right now, I think I am in a good path

Thanks everybody.
Without you, and especially Laurent blume I would be completely lost...

Now i am in... kind of a dark pathm, but there is a path.

Thanks again, I really apreciate it.

OK, this won't help you resolve this problem but it may buy you a little
time!  Make sure that your logs aren't rotated!  When the logs are
rotated Apache will be told to reload the config.  That's really not
what you want!
