Apache File Descriptor Limit Issue

I get the following error or something basically similar:

[warn] [csd] filedescriptor (1029) larger than FD_SETSIZE (1024) found, you probably need to rebuild Apache with a larger FD_SETSIZE

According to the latest buildscript though it runs a limit.patch which should increase it to a limit 2048. Additionaly, I thought the 2.4 kernels automatically compensated for this? Either way, this is killing Apache and creates several hundred processes before it finally dies during peak usage times. Any suggestions?
