Lately, I've been getting a lot of bombs and errors on my Mac. Basically, I'll
be trying to open a file and I'll get a "Can't open file, -42" Which means
Too many files open. This happens in every application every time a new
file needs to be created.
Now, if I had a ton of files open, I'd know what was wrong. But I don't.
So I don't.
At least, I don't have any more than I always did in the past. Maybe some
INIT is keeping resource files open when they are not needed...
At any rate, how can I increase the number of allowed open files so I can
avoid this (I have the memory to do this if it is allowed by the System) or
how can I reduce the number of open files?
Here's my config info:
