This is Apache 1.3.33 with mod_perl 1.29 on a mucho-bastardized RH6.2 install with a 2.2.25 kernel. Everything, including Perl 5.8.6, is installed from source just a few hours ago.
You forgot to mention what Apache::VMonitor version you are using (also what Apache::Scoreboard version)
Perhaps this is no big deal, but I'm seeing some odd output in VMonitor.
(please excuse the long, poorly-formatted lines)

...and a bunch of other normal-looking Apache processes\
My first question is about that 455. That's my svcscanboot process, which is part of DJB's daemontools package. It's not the only oddball I've seen the VMonitor list, I've also seen a few multilog processes (also from daemontools). That's a small sample, I'm not certain that all the errant processes in the list are related daemontools, just the ones I've noticed.
They're not there all the time. They just show up, hang out a bit, then disappear. I don't really understand why anything other than Apache would be showing up in the list, and I could use a little insight.
My second question is about the values in LastReq and Srvd. Is it just me, or do they seem spurious? At the time I cut and pasted these results, none of these processes had served even remotely close to "millions" of requests, and LastReq values in days don't make any sense to me at all.
All this information is coming from Apache's scoreboard, A-VM just pulls it via Apache::Scoreboard perl glue. I'd try to play with mod_status's extended mode, which does exactly the same (but gives you much less info than A-VM).
