I have a static Solaris compilation, and have the same problems 
where the parent seems to grow by 1M each HUP.  This has caused 
me some problems because I have a monitor that will do a 
graceful if the httpd seems stuck, but I ended up doing a 
cold stop/start every X restarts instead.

Yours is a great analysis, and I look forward to the fruits of
your research.
