>Description:
After a demand-dial ppp has been running for a while it runs out of file
descriptors, leaving log messages like this:
...

However:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1080 Sep 9 1995 /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
Eventually, I have noticed I can't make connections to new sites and I have to
manually kill and restart ppp.
>How-To-Repeat:
Fire up a demand-dial ppp link, use it, and wait.
