It is likely a bug in your underlying OS.. A graceful just sends a
SIGUSR1 signal to the apache process, which is jsut supposed to make it
reload the config. But since this is really an OS operation, it is
reliant on the OS handling it well. I have seen this sort of thing
happen with some OSes (usually just stuck threads and memory leakage).

The simplest fix is to do a complete stop/start. If this is undesireable
due to load, try doing the graceful during busy times (I guess it takes
a while for the problem to get really bad) and then schedule a
stop/start for when the system is quiet.
