There are several attempts to create threads (16 ?) and at the end it's given up issuing thread_create() failed: 12, try again .... Check the number (real-time, max) of threads on that machine ..
PS : a folk running Linux reported a similar problem but he's not runing RH. On Mandrake/SuSE I've never seen it. How much traffic do you process ? Which hardware ? Try to get some recommendations on system tuning from RH since you're paying $$$$ .
