[comp.text.tex] !No room for a new read in epsf.tex

Hi,
I've got a sticky problem----TeX error!
After processing 15 epsffiles for dvips' \input{epsf} \epsffile{somefile.eps}
syntax, TeX spit out the following message:

---------c------------c-----------c---------
(/usr/local/lib/tex/inputs/epsf.tex
! No room for a new \read .
\ch@ck ...\else \errmessage {No room for a new #3}
                                                  \fi
\alloc@ ...\advance \count 1#1by\@ne \ch@ck #1#4#2
                                                  \allocationnumber =\count ...
l.34 \newread\epsffilein

?
------c-----------c----------c---------c-------

I have one more epsfile to process.  But it seems that I do not have 
enough space (for what?, of what?).

Can anyone diagnose this and help me avoid this error?

	Thanks a lot.

You only need to say \input{epsf} for the first epsf file.  (It just
defines \epsfbox.)
