Comment 2 Joe Orton 2007-04-26 09:19:59 UTC 
Thanks for the report.  This is actually a harmless error; it occurs because the
socket on which the server calls accept() is immediately closed in child
processes, upon receipt of the graceful restart signal.

It may be possible to safely hide it from the logs or avoid it somehow, however.
Comment 3 David K. Means 2007-12-02 00:06:31 UTC 
According to a Debian website, this problem has been isolated and fixed in
release 2.2.6-2 from the Apache team.  All that would be required of the Fedora
project is to repackage the stuff into an FC7 (and FC8) RPM.  Who is the right
person to take this on?
Comment 4 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2008-07-16 13:43:39 UTC 
1. This was filled against RHEL 
2. did httpd get patched with this fix 
3. Since this is harmless and just an noise it can be closed as FIXED
Comment 5 Joe Orton 2009-03-19 15:44:49 UTC 
There was a set of changes related to graceful restart handling proposed by a Debian developer, but I don't think it will have made a difference for the single-listener case as is covered here.

It does look like it's possible to avoid logging this in the graceful restart case.
