That is the way we did the initialization before r2025 so I guess that could explain why we weren't affected just like apache is not. In the other hand though that change was introduced to force gmond to report to its parent in case there were problems creating those resources and that would be silently ignored otherwise, and I guess apache either has that bug as well or simply has a better way to code that notification just like the one that was proposed originally in this thread.
