thanx a lot for the reply.

You getting me wrong ... the number of open fd for the httpd process
becomes 1023+ . So when httpd opens sockets to listen they get fd_num >
1024.

Now when apache selects on these sockets .. its gets an error , because
select syscall's fd_set is defined in select.h as
	
	__fd_mask fds_bits[__FD_SETSIZE / __NFDBITS];

where __FD_SETSIZE = 1024.

apache's recomiple can solve the problem .. but i dont want to do it.
Alternatively i want to itercept error logs (using custom module or
otherwise) and log them myself. Access logs can always be constructed
using request_rec , so no need to intercept them.
