IIRC, Apache will only "bind" itself to a specified port upon
start/restart/reload.

Did you see a message to the tune of:
 [DATE] [notice] "SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart "
before the [crit]?  Maybe something tried to "kill -HUP" your Apache
and failed for some reason or another?  It happens to me once in a
while -- stubborn children not exiting completely before the
restart/reload. 

Other than that, sounds like it might have been something / someone
trying to start Apache w/o checking to see if it was already running.

Have you tried to restart Apache just to make sure everything _is_
working as intended?
