This occured because the Apache RPM was compiled from RedHat rather than directly from Apache. As a result, it can only handle 1024 file descriptions. You need to recompile the original RPM from Apache and change the FD_SETSIZE value in /usr/include/bits/types.h to 16384.

<rant>I found this information in a free Apache-cvs support mailing list through Google. In the future, to get both faster and more knowledgable assistance I would suggest that you take advantage of the HUGE resources open for support RedHat, Apache and other open-source Linux projects. Chances are 99% of your problems have already been solved and documented and the other 1% can more often than not be answered within minutes by swarming hordes of gurus, developers, and fellow sysadmins.</rant>

hehe, roundice

You are going to have a LOT of rants around here then :)
