The code mod_mono uses to daemonize the mono server does a wait() without
specifying the pid.  When this takes place during a graceful Apache restart it
predictably reaps the first Apache worker process instead of the first child in
the daemonize chain.

By reaping one of Apache's children mod_mono deprives Apache of the opportunity
to reap that child.  As a result, Apache thinks the child is stuck in the "G"
gracefully restarting state.  After enough graceful restarts Apache will
believe it has used up all the process slots it is allowed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install apache with mod_mono
2. apachectl start
3. apachectl graceful
4. view status and you'll see a process listed as stuck in the "G" state
