1:) NO
2:) Almost anything, basicly, you're being told 'it crashed' -)

Possible things that come to mind, in no particular order:

Corrupt / missing apache module, 
Bad memory, disk/hardware/fan
Dead Fan
Insufficient memory/swap
Incompatable apache module [eg mismatched mod_perl/php etc]
corrupt apache binary...
...

Pick any one....

Child process crashes are pretty much worse case for debugging:(
