We have recently run into a problem with A/UX 1.1, which
the A/UX hotline has been unable to solve.  There appears
to be a limit (NOFILES) on the number of files a particular
user can have open.  A/UX 1.1 is hard coded at the kernel level
for a max. of 32 files per user.  This limit is independent of
the number of system wide files that can be opened.

Has anyone else run into this limit besides us?  Can anyone
recommend a go around, besides not opening this many files?

Thanks in advance.
