If there is some fix for this in the HP-supplied binary but not in Apache or
APR, we'd love to hear about it :)  I hope that isn't the situation.

In the case that a child returned a fatal error which forced a shutdown, there
should be a message in error_log written by the parent by this code:

            ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ALERT,
                         0, ap_server_conf,
                         "Child %" APR_PID_T_FMT
                         " returned a Fatal error..." APR_EOL_STR
                         "Apache is exiting!",
                         pid->pid);

In all likelihood the fatal error was simply the first unexpected ENOSPC from
attempting to acquire the mutex, then that child returned a fatal error, then
the semaphore got cleaned up, then remaining children that hadn't already died
due to shutdown started getting EINVAL on their semaphore operations.
