The apache group released an update that addresses this problem. The current release of apache is 1.2.1. There should also be a workaround posted on the faq at www.apache.org. I hope this helps.

I bet once you add up the number of file descriptors >(i.e. 1 per IP address, one per log file you have defined in apache) >that you will run into the per-process limit that is defined on your >machine. Try using the apache 1.2 commands (sorry, I don't have the >docs avail right now) to increase the resource limits, specifically >the number of file descriptors, and see if that helps.
