My system does this same thing. But, I believe it is due to the
following...
ps -aux reveals the following httpd processes (edited for readability)
root S< Jun28 0:03 /usr/local/apache_1.3.6/bin/httpd
nobody S< Jun28 0:20 /usr/local/apache_1.3.6/bin/httpd
nobody S< Jun28 0:04 /usr/local/apache_1.3.6/bin/httpd
nobody S< Jun28 0:03 /usr/local/apache_1.3.6/bin/httpd
etc...
Notice how the first process is owned by root. and all of its children are
nobody. Perhaps your system is running the same way....
