When a certain BSD machine is running for ~20 days or so, the system 
unexpectedly hangs. Over the days/weeks the number of "files" reported 
by pstat -T slowly shows fewer and fewer free files. Basically this 
machine just does web serving. Any ideas why this is happening?

Its [2.0.5] BTW.

Thanks,

-Jerry.
