OpenBSD and Apache

[Justin Grudzien <mailer@shaggy.xsite.net>]

I am currently running OpenBSD 2.1 with apache 1.2 and am getting a weird
error.

[Wed Dec  3 11:39:16 1997] access to\
/usr/ns-home/docs/literary-liaisons.com/cgi-bin/contact.cgi failed for\
bryan.alphachannel.com, reason: couldn't spawn child process

Now there are over 2000 file descriptors open as reported to me by fstat
so I am wondering if I have hit some kind of limit. Now this happens
everytime a cgi-script is run. If I reboot the file descriptor count goes
down to like 1000 for an hour. Now I have submitted this to the apache
people but I wanted to see if anyone here could answer some questions and
give me some ideas.

This is what I have done. I have recompiled the kernel a dozen time
changing the maxusers setting and the various other setting that have to
do with maxusers. I do not speciffically see a # of file descriptors
limit, but if it has anything to do with maxusers, like FreeBSD then I
have changed all I can. 

ANy info would be appreciated because I would hate to have to swich from
OpenBSD to some other lame unix.
