Hi Cynthia,

	It looks from this :

	that you have too many open files and since there is an upper
limit on this usually, you probably need to see if you're running too many
programs opening many files.

	In any case, you can always increase the upper limit by doing the
following :

	cat 16000 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max

	as root, of course :-) Maybe you'd want to put it into a script or
something.

	HTH,

		Ravi
