XF 1.2 500 errors because of too many processes

Hmmm this seems to be back...

My error log in cpanel:

There's at least 6 completely unique users hitting the script within the same second - I suspect you'd find that would be busier than even XenForo.com. If that's not your normal traffic pattern, it could be a burst from being listed on a big site or it could be something like an attack pointed at your forum; you'd likely need to trace through your web server logs for more information.
