I use:

	maxusers 256
	child_max=128
	open_max=128
	nmbclusters=768

	swap space on disk = 128mb

I don't see the problem as "often".  Could some other parameter be keyed
off of the maxusers that influences this?  In addition I use a different
web server (cern), so maybe there is a file descriptor leak in the one
you are using?
