ok, since we've added this little statement to the conf, we've started
seeing the odd message when restarting httpd with,
/etc/init.d/httpd restart, and on this particular machine it is the base
install off RH7.0 with an upgrade to bind, php, and mysql. oh yeah the entry
into thbe conf file:

CustomLog "| su -c '/usr/sbin/rotatelogs
/var/log/httpd/apache2mysql/apache2mysql_log_bunny 3600' logsync" mysql

also i would like to say thanks to all who have given me some places to
look.
