I had a similar problem with Microsoft C 5.1.  At random intervals, it
would tell me it couldn't open a file.  My DOS file handles were set
to 35 or 40, so I didn't think this was the problem, until I noticed
the file handles switch that can be given with pcnfs.sys.  I set this
to something large (ridiculous actually, 64, I probably don't need
such a large number.)  Haven't had a problem since.  Try something
like:

device=pcnfs.sys /f40
