apache strange loop

Hi,

I have a process of apache that is *allways* showing up the first in top, even after the server is restared:
739 root 15 0 5072 5072 4588 S 1.9 0.2 1:27 httpd

when I run strace on that process, I see this loop:

select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 474579}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223693
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223694
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223695
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223696
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223697
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223698
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0
select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
time(NULL) = 1057223699
wait4(-1, 0xbfffebfc, WNOHANG, NULL) = 0


I can't seem to figure what is that and what is causing this. Anyone have any idea?

Thanks
