Since changing FCGID_MAX_APPLICATION to 4096 didn't help, I guess
you've encountered some sort of defect that causes a false detection
of too many processes. Although it is not going to solve your
problem, we can improve this particular message as well to indicate
the current value, that it is changed in the src, and requires a
rebuild.
We can leave off docs@ for now.
What is the OS and how many instances (processes) of your two apps
were running when this message was generated? With LogLevel debug,
what messages are written by mod_fcgid to the error log up until the
first failure?

sorry for the duplicate questions
I opened https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48811 to
track this issue, in lieu of discussing an obvious bug here; you
probably want to add yourself to the cc list of the bug report.
I'll later post a patch to that bug report which will log some more
information to help debug this problem.

one each. although the order doesn't make a difference, in the
example following, the 1st invoked app is a single instance of a
pressflow6 site front-page. The 2nd invoked app is simply the login
page of a drupal6 site.
