The issue is in part kernel related this commit (introduced in 3.2.9) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=28d82dc1c4edbc352129f97f4ca22624d1fe61de introduced a epoll path limit of 1000 (1000 process listening on the same socket).
This commit (3.2.17) http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=93dc6107a76daed81c07f50215fa6ae77691634f restore the old behavior for non nested epoll path (so you can use unlimited apache process) Apache shouldn't hang but updating your kernel will solve the issue.
