Rails - Dec 2005 - Too many fcgi listeners

I''m using rails in fcgi production mode on apache and noticing that
when I create an upload form with progress, each new refresh of the
upload status seems to add a new fcgi listener until there are a total
of nine listeners.  I reduced my apache setup to only use one server,
but it seems to create 9 fcgi listeners for each apache httpd process.
 Does anyone know how I can reduce this?

Thanks,
Carl
