[Orca-users] HELP - Too many open files

See if you can find the code that opens and closes files, my guess is that files are being opened but not being closed so it runs out of fd's. Run pfile on the process to see what the open files are.

Hi folks.
Having problems with too many open files.
As mentioned in the FAQ (Q2.3), I have raised the ulimit to 1024(max)
but I still have the same problem. 
Could someone suggest a workaround ?

Many thanks for any help/tips/suggestions.
Paul
