That is a long-standing problem.
My "feeling" for the situation is that
there is a long-standing API problem or mis-use of API by mod_cgid
which leads to pipes being created unnecessarily
there are long-standing bugs (duplicate cleanups?) that lead to
invalid close calls (do strace on cgid daemon across a request
to see several "close(-1)"; some of what you see now may be related
to the pipe leak but some has been there for a long time
there is something new introduced at about the time of recent
apr_file_dup[2] work that introduced the leak
I'll try to follow up with an strace of the cgid daemon across a
CGI... gotta rebuild (I always seem to have the wrong config for
what I want to do next... maybe some cron jobs need to keep a couple
of build flavors current :) )
