devil's advocate comments:
1) why write code to do something the user can easily take care of?
2) shouldn't the user be able to control how many file descriptors
can be used by Apache? in general, they should be able to mitigate
the resource growth caused by an Apache or module bug by playing
with soft limits
a) this makes it harder to simulate running out of file descriptors
during testing
without the patch, "ulimit -n 20" will generate some excitement;
with the patch, it is off to the OS documentation to figure out
how to change the hard limit on various systems
(OTOH, I too would speculate that this would make life easier for some
Apache users :) )
