If you have separate error logs for ssl virtualhosts, please also
check those for additional error messages.

Did you do this to try to fix this issue or was this an unrelated
change to fix something else? httpd should not use FD_SETSIZE
internally (though some library used by httpd may).

You could try to start it under "strace -f" and try to see if there is
some system call that fails shortly before this message is printed.
BTW, you original report said "version 2.2.22-13+deb7u1", but the
AH00016 tag was only introduced in 2.4. Which version do you use
exactly?
