Well, it's seems like it is what it says it is... "too many open files in
system"... :-) .
You have a limit of the number of open file handles in your system , as well
as number of processes, etc' etc' limits to their kinds... .
There might be a way to change this in the shell ("ulimit" ?), but you can
sure edit the kernel sources and recompile it, as I once did just that (and,
its really not that difficult). Sorry, but I cannot recall the exact file to
edit (but it's a short file with a few #define's in it).
I suspect that in a few minutes you'll have the exact file and "define"s to
edit, but in any case - try grep'ping recrusivly (grep -r ) the kernel
source tree for MAX_FILE or FILE_MAX (or is it *FOPEN*, *FD* ?).
Boaz.
