Subject:   file table full   - consequences and do I have to reboot?

Running 3.3 and kde

Got a file table full from kmail  [mail client for kde]

So, I increased the maxfiles [to avoid rebuilding the kernal and
increasing maxusers at this time]

# sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=10000
kern.maxfiles: 1064 -> 10000  

Still cannot open kmail.  All else appears to be running normally and
correctly.

-do I have to reboot to fix this?

-are there any consequences of of ignoring this [other than the loss of
kmail]?

Thanks
Jeff
  P.S.  the port of lsof is a bit out of date
  ===>  Configuring for lsof-4.42
Unknown FreeBSD release: 3.3-RELEASE
Assuming FreeBSD 2.x            
  make then, naturally, fails
