I keep getting this error in syslogd on a 4.2-STABLE machine:
/kernel: file: table is full

I'm trying to figure out what's going on, but I'm having problems figuring
out what is sucking up all the fd's.

Here's some pertinent info:
#> uname -a
FreeBSD <snip> 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #9: Fri Feb 16 12:58:02 PST
2001     <snip>:/usr/src/sys/compile/<snip>  i386

#> sysctl -a | grep files
kern.maxfiles: 16424
kern.maxfilesperproc: 16424
kern.openfiles: 15942

#> fstat | wc -l
    2096

As you can see, kern.openfiles and fstat totally do not agree. I'd like some
suggestions on how to figure out what's going on here. From the information
I have, it looks like some sort of fd leak, but this is definitely not my
area of specialty.

Thanks in advance,
Pete
