I wasn't able to stop (kill) the httpd or httpsd daemons with /etc/rc.d/init.d/http(s)d stop I discovered that the 'ps' command core dumps on me if LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so is defined. My solution was to only define it in the "start" portion of my init script. (ps is used in the "stop" portion of the init script (see killproc); and won't kill my httpd or httpsd daemons if LD_PRELOAD is defined.) This is just a workaround until I find out why ps dumps with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so defined.
