>Description:
	Apache packages's startup script supports "restart" operation,
	but it dosen't really restart the http server but perform reload
	operation.

	According to rc(8), "restart" operation should be perform "stop"
	and "start" operation (or equivalent).  And since some apache
	modules needs to restart the http server in order to reconfigure,
	it is problem that "restart" operation dosen't restart the server.

	Current apache's startup script simply pass "restart" argument
	to apachectl(8).  But apachectl(8)'s "restart" means:

		1. Start server if not running.
		2. Otherwise reload configuration.

	So, "stop" operation isn't performed at all.

	This problem exists on both apache and apche2 package.
>How-To-Repeat:
	1. Run apache server.
	2. Do "sh /etc/rc.d/apache restart".
	3. Compare pid of the master httpd process before and after and
	   it is the same value.
>Fix:
	Fix apache's startup script to do "apachectl stop" and
	"apacectl start" when "restart" is specified.
