Apache crashes

Just after I get a large group of sites migrated to apache2 on a new  
machine, I am seeing this happen in the error log:

36)Operation now in progress: initgroups: unable to set groups for  
User www and Group 70

Seems to be a bit of info in google about it, related to Mac OS X, and  
some in the macports archives about python.

Here is the whole deal:
$grep 'alert' error_log

unable to set groups for User www and Group 70

I was fiddling with rotatelogs in a virtual host container, but since  
removed it, and am not using that feature at this time.  Those alerts  
above came after I restarted apache with a graceful.

Suggestions?
