I think it's just coincidence that this works.

This is the key one.

We've seen this on Apache on jazz.external.hp.com when socket resources have
been exhausted.

For reasons we don't yet understand, running Apache with "KeepAlive On" in
httpd.conf can slowly eat all of your socket resources.  If you do have
KeepAlive On, change it to Off and see if that helps.

If you're not doing KeepAlive, check in :NMMGR and consider raising some of the
socket maximums.
