[users@httpd] Apache status reports twice the number of total workers

[Patrick Proniewski]

Hello,

I'm using Munin to monitor few Apache servers.
The apache_processes plugin parse the output of 
http://127.0.0.1:80/server-status?auto , which looks like this:

Total Accesses: 20492

Scoreboard: 
__._.__._..___.KKW..................**cut**......................................
                                     

BusyWorkers and IdleWorkers numbers are ok. But Scoreboard displays twice the 
real number of slots configured in httpd config.

I have this config:

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers          5
    MinSpareServers       5
    MaxSpareServers      10
    MaxClients          128
    MaxRequestsPerChild   10000
</IfModule>

I expect Scoreboard to display 128 slots, but it displays 256. Does it come 
from the fact I'm running Apache on ports 80 AND 443?
