>Description:

    After a demand-dial ppp has been running for a while it runs out of file
descriptors, leaving log messages like this:
...
05-18 02:25:28 [8656] *Connected!
05-18 02:25:28 [8656] Phase: Authenticate
05-18 02:25:28 [8656]  his = 0, mine = 0
05-18 02:25:28 [8656] Phase: Network
socket: Too many open files
05-18 02:25:28 [8656] OsLinkup: 111.222.333.444
can't open /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.
can't open /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.
can't open /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup.
socket: Too many open files

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.
