We noticed this problem when web browsers would refuse to connect to the server. *Then* we discovered the netstat oddity, and *then* we found that changing the Listen line in httpd.conf fixed it.
That leaves me still wanting an explanation for what happened.
was the fix the config change or restarting of the service? did netstat show client connections to port 80 in other states(FIN_WAIT/etc)? high load apache websites can often run out of connections due to the limits in httpd.conf "<IfModule prefork.c>" section. these limits can be increased if clients can no longer connect due to http child processes being stuck in other tcp states.
