Here's what I've found out. Apache was confgured by a different
person, and I didn't notice that the MaxClients parameter was set too
low (159).
Setting it up to a high value (1024) has made those errors disappear.
So that "memory limit" was actually that the system was dropping
connection requests from the listen queue. The error message is quite
looks misleading to me. At least I had never seen it, so it caught me
by surprise.
Sorry about the confusion. I will go on doing tests and let you know
the result.
Borja.
