I did not find any such problems when trying it.

Nope, not like this. It's actually an OS feature... you can use
strace for this to figure out what is happening under the hood. For
this to work, do the following:

1. stop apache
2. run: strace /path/to/apache/binary/apache -X 2> /var/log/strace.log
3. request the web page
4. Check in /var/log/strace.log what is happening. You could gzip that
   strace.log file and send it to me if you wish.
