One cause of this is reaching a resource limit. Assuming I'm reading
the error correctly and the problem is happening on the server, you
could try increasing the maximum open files for Apache with ulimit,
either in its startup script or IIRC through an Apache directive. A
cause of this could be a large number of simultaneous users, an
application leaking file descriptors, or an unreasonably small ulimit.
You can try using "lsof" to see how many files your Apache server has
open and what they are.
