If you are using UNIX family sockets it actually writes to file space and this causes a file to be opened. Thus you may have to many open files. You might try INET family sockets! Just a suggestion. Also you can check so see if a process can increase the the number of files it can have open on your system. I hope this helps, =============================================================================== Kent Malave' ...uunet!cs.utexas.edu!ibmchs!auschs!opus.austin.ibm.com!kent Disclaimer: This is no one's opinion.
