yeah, I read your followup after I responded... sorry :(

If you're willing to keep the number of threads constant, you can run
worker with a fixed number of processes.  Yeah, it is twisting the
design a bit but so what...

<IfModule worker.c>
ThreadLimit      500
ServerLimit      1
StartServers         1
MaxClients         500
MinSpareThreads     1
MaxSpareThreads     500
ThreadsPerChild     500
MaxRequestsPerChild  0
</IfModule>

Replace 500 with whatever floats your boat.  You'll always have one
server process with that many threads.
