Someone sent it USR1 - as the name suggests, it is a user signal. The most common/easiest way to send apache a SIGUSR1 is to run "apachectl graceful". Apache doesn't restart itself. Have you configured log rotation? When rotating logs, it is common to gracefully restart apache to write to new log files.
