I'm sorry, my original question wasn't clear..  I'm aware that it's a log
rotation thing, it just occurs to me that these processes should be dying
politely and not require a kill -9.  Am I wrong in this?  Thanks everyone
for the help. :)

logrotate is doing this.

check the file /etc/logrotate.d/httpd RH8-9 OR "apache" on RH7.2 for 
reference.

the script portion of logrotate restarts the httpd server to generate new
log 
files.

On my RH9 box which should be very similar to yours, it reads;

/var/log/httpd/*log {
    missingok
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || 
true
    endscript
}
