The problem is that if you use an EAPI-patched-1.3, you get a path to a
mutex file hard-coded into the httpd binary.  If this path is absolute,
as above, then you need permission in that path to create a file, so
using httpd-test to run httpd as a user doesn't work if that path is
only writable by root, obviously.

You can compile EAPI-patched-1.3 with a relative EAPI_MM_CORE_PATH (or
wahtever it is, I don't remember), and the problem will go away as it
will become effectively ServerRoot-relative.

All IIRC :)
