  All of a sudden, one of our servers stopped serving requests, claiming
  that the file permissions didn't allow access:

  Not only that, as can be seen cgi-scripts started failing and we got
  a WEIRD error about No groups file... A kill -HUP fixed the problem but
  this is strange... I'll look into it.

All this is highly symptomatic of running out of file descriptors.
It's possible I've introduced a leak... thanks again for the info.
