that is why it is apr_status_t, not apr_error_t.  There are specifically a
set of status codes that do not indicate errors, only status
conditions.  That series of values starts with APR_OS_START_STATUS, and
examples of them are APR_INCHILD, APR_INPARENT, APR_DETACH.  They are
commonly identified by the fact that they aren't APR_E*, rather they are
just APR_*.
