>Description:
When Apache runs in standalone mode, it leaves file descriptors 0, 1 and 2
open. I noticed this problem when I was testing a script which stops and starts
apache from cron. cron keeps waiting on a pipe (to get the output from the
command) which is kept open because apache keeps these file descriptors open.
I verified this with lsof(1).

I think daemon processes should always close fd's 0, 1 and 2.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use fstat, lsof or a similar program.
>Fix:
Add close(0); close(1); close(2); to the detach() function in http_main.c
