Nope, it looks purely like apache problem.
You can also check the following:
- what are these files? ls -la /proc/pid/fds
  i.e. it can be sockets or files. what are they?
  `netstat -natp` output can be helpful as well
- plz post /proc/user_beancounters output.
  it always helps to analyze the resource shortage problems.
- what does apache say in the log when problem begin?
you can also ask Plesk support if issue is related to Plesk product.

Thanks,
Kirill
