>Description:
1 of my box run apache 2.0.28-beta and FYI, the box host 1 of hit website (nearly 1000 hit per day). the httpd always stop responding like 20 times a day. Even httpd still shown up in pid process but user can't even browse the webs. When i try to kill the process (i did it by killall httpd), Seems httpd never response to the kill command, the process still in pid even 100 times i kill it. This never happened in httpd 2.0.16-beta(I use that version previously). When the httpd stop response, this message shown up in apache error log.

-[Wed Jan 16 13:40:42 2002] [warn] new file descriptor 3370 is too large; you probably need to rebuild Apache with a larger FD_SETSIZE (currently 1024)

i don't think increase number off FD_SETSIZE is the solution. Another version 1.3.20 and 1.3.22 never having such CRITICAL problem even without increase those file descriptor size. Hope you guys fix this bugs. Mail me sometimes.
