Recurring mason_data Permissions Issue

I just started getting a really strange error with my RT (3.8.2) installation.

At least once a week the permissions in the mason_data directory get
screwed up, resulting in errors like this when I try to access the web
interface:

Couldn’t create object file
/opt/rt3/var/mason_data/obj/3452752852/standard/index.html.obj:
Permission denied

If I remember correctly one of the directories ends up being set with
root as the user and group. I’m afraid I forgot to check last time it
happened so I can’t be sure.

I see NOTHING in my RT error log. My apache2 error log gives me:

(9)Bad file descriptor: apr_socket_accept: (client socket).

To fix it I just chown/chgrp/chmod and everything works again, but it
happens frequently and the root issue needs to be addressed.

I found this thread:
Carbon60: Cloud Consulting - Services and Solutions but it doesn’t
really contain much useful information.

The issue doesn’t seem to be precipitated by anything, though
sometimes it happens right after one of my users comments on a ticket.

Anyone have any ideas?
