RE: Too many files open

Scott:

That makes sense.  It isn't really files.  I sent Brad what he asked
for, so hopefully he's got a fix for me.

Thanks.

Hi Art,

What you have to understand about this error message is that it doesn't
really mean "files".  It means "file descriptors".  It could be that you
have too many stream files opened with the open() API (which CPYTOSTMF
uses under the covers) but it could also be too many open sockets, too
many open pipes, or a combination.
