Other than checking, as someone already suggested, your code for
forgetting to close file handles, you might also want to check your
account limits. In bash, type "ulimit -a" and look at "open files". Of
course, I can't imagine why it'd be set so low ... Linux, I believe, (and
perhaps some other Unixen) have a hard-coded limit of 256. You can try
setting the value using "ulimit -n 256".
-dak : Maybe $40 for the Slackware 3.6 CDs isn't all that bad...at least,
not after a day of downloading and still being on diskd1. I need
to get myself a faster modem one of these days ...
