In SysV2r2 as well as bunch of other systems, the kernel prints this
message on the system console device when it has run out of file
structures.  There are too many open files or the kernel has a bug
and "loses" file structures.

Depending on your vendor, you may be able to remake your kernel
with more file structures.
