I'm reasonably sure that fiddling with maxusers won't fix this particular problem. At the time I first encountered the problem, I was running with maxusers 128 and CHILD_MAX=512 and OPEN_MAX=1024. Making these very large did not effect the problem. So I put some debug statements in the Apache source in mod_cgi.c and found that it was dying at the fork with errno=35. Once I upped the limit maxproc, I never had the problem again. This was on FBSD 2.2.x (don't recall which, exactly), about a year and a half ago, with similar versions of the software as Luis is running.
