No. The way things stand now, all scripts named foo.sh are sourced into the
main shell, and everything else (base scripts, local scripts, whatever) are
all run in subshells. You could answer this for yourself by looking in
/etc/rc.subr if it's still not clear.

suggested in the patch I sent so that the script gets installed as apache
instead of apache.sh.
