So, it seems I was partially correct in the analysis given above, with the
exception that the FD starvation was produced by mod_mono/mod-mono-server
itself. The real source of the bug, discovered by Zoltan Varga, was that some
apache versions appear to block certain signals used by the Mono runtime and,
more importantly, by its garbage collector. As the result, mod_mono was
correctly starting new backend copies but, having previously removed the unix
socket file used for communications with them, it relied upon the new backend
to create that file - which never happened. The reason why it never happened
was that as soon as the GC kicked in within the child process it blocked
waiting on a semaphore to never wake up as delivery of the signals mentioned
above was impossible.
The issue has been fixed in svn trunk, revision 127064 and in the 2.4 branch,
revision 127063
