I think the problem is that Apache ungracefully dumps core if you start it and have an access or error file defined in the httpd.conf file, pointing to a directory that doesen't exist. Now, obviously it's a "doctor my machine keeps crashing when I point the error file to a directory that doesen't exist" type of bug, but I still think it's sloppy when it would be simple to emit an error message instead. This is why existing Apache machines don't see this and newbies typically do, because the newbies don't have an existing web directory structure.
