You're not running Informix, are you?   We ran into this problem when
we started using Informix SQL and 4GL.  Evidentally, each time an
Informix process would be executed from their menu system it would open
serveral files.  SCO support helped us with with right away.  Raise the
NFILE and NINODE parameters and relink the kernel.

I have 8 users, normally all using Informix, and have had to raise the
NFILE and NINODE to 600.  SCO said the 400 recommended limit in the 
config can be ignored as long as you have sufficent memory.
