You start http twice. The seconds time, httpd is running and new httpd
cannot bind on socket! It's not a bug of /sbin/rc.

In this release, /sbin/rc just call /etc/rc.d/script.

It's a bug in apache rc script which doesn't check is httpd is already running.

you can easily check by running twice /etc/rc.d/httpd start.
