[PATCH] Possible fix for worker MPM performance problem

[Bill Stoddard]

Would someone care to see if this fixes the worker MPM performance problem reported
earlier on the list (request-per-second dropping when clients exceeded 
threadsperchild)?
This patch defers starting the listener untill -all- the workers have started.
