 THank's for the help.  I actually found out what the problem was.  It has
 nothing to
 do with the frontpage.  It just happened to seem to come from Fronpage.
 
 My problem was that the Apache engine is a single process that spawns child
 processes.  My SCO box was set to 110 files/per process.  Since I was
 opening two
 files per virtual website (error_log,access_log).  I quickly ran out of
 available
 files for the Apache process.  So I temporarely deleted the error_log files from
 the conf.httpd config.  And I will increase the limit of open files per
 process in
 the Kernel.
 
 Thank's for all your help.  Please continue doing all this great work on the
 Apache project.
