Actually, this is a rather important issue. You either have a program =
going
crazy and opening up too many files, or you need to set maxusers in your
kernel config higher. Or, if you are certain its just a file descriptor
issue, try upping the value of=20
kern.maxfiles
e.g.
sysctl -a | grep kern.maxfiles
sysctl -w kern.maxfiles=3D<some bigger number>

But generally start by increasing the maxusers value in your kernel =
config

pstat -T
will also tell you BTW.
