The problem occurred because of the way I stored backup files when I was
editing the configuration files to increase the limits.

apache2.conf contains the following line:
Include /etc/apache2/conf.d/

Apparently, after including the contents of any files in conf.d, this
directive goes on to include files in any subdirectories of that
directory (including a subdirectory named 'backup" where I had tried to
hide my backup file).

As it turns out, I didn't need to go to such lengths to hide my backup
in the first place. The gedit editor automatically creates a backup file
and names it by appending a tilde (~) to the end of the original name. I
was afraid these would be Included, but I now learn that the Include
directive ignores these backup files by default.

Foiled, once again, by my own brilliance!!
