Seems like the parent apache process creates the pipe to cronolog. The children must be sending their output to the parent that will in turn pipe it to cronolog.
The only other thing is that we're using an environment variable expansion (macro) in the CustomLog string, as described here : http://www.stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/server.101/q20201/mod/mod_log_config.html#formats Any clues as to how I can further debug this is much appreciated.

Hi Georgi, Thanks for that info. Digging into this a bit more, I find we're using a modified cronolog - sorry I didn't see this before. The one big difference seems to be that we're using getc, vs read call to read the input in our cronolog.c. I'm suspecting that buffer size mismatch has something to do with this (getc would buffer with 8192 and the original cronolog seems to buffer 65536 bytes) Apache writes from multiple child processes cannot be interleaved right? Even if we used getc instead of read, shouldn't we still get the bytes in the order apache processes wrote them?
