Bug#236193: apache2-mpm-perchild: graceful restart doubles number of threads

[Charles Fry <debian@frogcircus.org>]

Package: apache2-mpm-perchild
Severity: normal

Whenever I run "apache2ctl graceful", which I have understood to be the
cleanest way to restart apache2, the number of apache2 threads doubles.
It appears that all of the old ones remain, and the same number of new
ones are created. I don't know if the original threads should not be
killed, or if the new ones should not be created.
