Are you sure about this? Looking at the apache mpm pre fork code it looks to me that the child executes the same image. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpd/httpd/trunk/server/mpm/prefork/prefork.c?view=markup see make_child (which does the fork) and child_main (which is called in the child after the fork).
