 Try recompiling the kernel with higher per-user process limits or
 start the apache server from a command prompt which has had the limits
 raised. Alternatively, use apache 1.2b7 which has the ability to
 change the resource limits to values specified in its configuration
 file. Or, if you are nuts, like me, hack the apache startup code to do
 the appropriate calls to increase the limits :)
