Hmmm, are there any quota issues involved? Those often look quite bizarre from the outside.

Maybe one of your CGI's isn't exiting correctly, so the httpd has too many child pids?

Or there's a filehandle leak somewhere and the later child processes can't open stdout?

Wild guesses all, but an lsof on the httpd and a ps checking on its child processes might point you to a better guess.

If that fails, truss or strace the httpd process with the "follow children" option once this starts happening, and see where the failure is coming from.
