So the constraint must be common to all the processes, not within or applied to each process separately. And, as you get the same result with various CGI scripts, it is unlikely that it is the CGI scripts that are consuming the resource. This implies that the server is consuming the resource (either the common server process or the child processes).

It has been suggested to run strace (I understand tusc is the equivalent on HP-UX) on the server to see what is happening when it fails. An alternative would be to attach a debugger to one of the failing server processes and walk through to the failing system call. It might help to be certain what system call is failing.
