I posted my problem with our Web-Server that cannot spawn child 
processes.

Now, I tried to simulate the problem. In my tests I get the message
"too many open files".

But 
kern.maxfiles is 3240       

and 
kern.maxfilesperproc is 3240   too

Has anybody any Idea why the system cannot open more files (There are 
only a few processes running at the moment. There should not be more 
than max. 50 open files at this time.)

The system is a dual P5, 2 x P5 200MHz, FreeBSD 3.0-970124-SNAP SMP

Any help welcome!

Thanks in advance

Richard
