Yes. There's nothing abnormal on it. /var/log/messages also
shows apache starting and nothing when it dies.

Hmmm. Good idea. I'm using Redhat's normal configuration: starting
apache with the provided shel function `daemon`. It shown nothing except
the green "OK" then it loads.

Yes. I'm 100% sure. Here's another puzzling situation. On a shell,
I used the `at` programa to schedule a /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop and
a /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start Guess what... it works! This problem is
driving me crazy... Maybe a workaround (if Murphy is not listening to
me, of course) would be to schedule a start a couple seconds after the
boot...
