I'm not having this problem. I just started Apache, and killed off the child process five times on my XP box. Each time, a new child was created to take its place.
I stopped the child by opening the Task Manager, and killing the process. It took some time to make sure I wasn't killing the parent process, because for some reason, the pids don't just go in increasing order like you would expect. I would help debug this problem, but since I can't duplicate, I am kind of in the dark. The best I can suggest, is take a look at the information that is being set about the generation in the scoreboard. It is possible that some of the fields in the scoreboard aren't being initialized in the parent anymore.
