Hello,

We are getting a 'too many open files' error on our system.  I am
guessing that the kernel is reaching some max limit set for open
files.  I do not have the book readily available to find out which
kernel tune it is, if that is even the problem.

The problem is intermittent and our system does not seem busy at all.
(running well under 1.0).  

Any suggestions???
