Honestly, I'd check to make sure that the application is both recycling
the database handles as well as committing/closing down unnecessary
handles.  Other than that, it sounds like you've already got everything
figured out.

I've typically found it handy to write a database handle cache mechanism
for my applications.  I don't know how this would work with Propel, but
if you suspect that it's the culprit, feel free to hit up their
support/mailing lists.

If this is a production server, it might also be worth putting in some
logging/monitoring software to page you if you're approaching your
connection limit.  Best of luck!
