I am running an apache http server and getting fairly high amount of
traffic. I get these messages a lot in the error logs:

[Fri Apr 19 17:14:17 1996] socket error: accept failed
[Fri Apr 19 17:14:17 1996] socket error: accept failed
[Fri Apr 19 17:14:17 1996] socket error: accept failed
[Fri Apr 19 17:14:20 1996] socket error: accept failed

Anyone have any suspicions as to what it might be?

More than likely, you're seeing "Connection reset by peer" messages.
(Why httpd doesn't include strerror() in the output, I have no idea; I
patched Apache myself to have it do that.) Those messages are harmless, as
they just indicate that the remote side closed the connection before the
accept() call completed. Although why you'd see them at such a high rate
I'm not sure...
