Dan,

Now *that's* an interesting thought! The puzzling thing is the 
intermittent nature of the problem even though the number of 
transactions has been, for the past several days, nearly double its 
usual amount. It hasn't happened again since the first time I posted the 
problem. As soon as it surfaces again, I'll revisit the file handle issue.

However, following your lead, I Googled the following (see below). The 
PDF doc goes into a fair amount of detail on many issues though I'm not 
qualified to comment on its accuracy.

"Your exceeding the default 8192 (if this is Linux) file handle limit.
This is a pretty low limit, raise with
"sysctl -w fs.file-max=32767" as root.  If your on a RH box put
"fs.file-max = 32767" in /etc/sysctl.conf  so it gets redone next time
you boot.
