As I reported in bug #220220, on my system the problem is worse: When apache kills some of it's children (too many idle processes, MaxRequestsPerChild reached) it also gets stuck in "Gracefully finishing" state.
This leaves from time to time stuck child processes, that remain there till apache reaches maxclients and STOPS answering to connections! This is a severe bug, worse than just "avoid using reload" on init script. I have to monitor and completely restart apache every 5-7 days on a high- traffic server and this is causing me lot's of problems. Please try to release a fix soon.
