First, OH323 is an external channel driver.  You should contact the
developers at inAccess Networks, as it is their code.  Second, there
is no such thing as unlimited open files (there's always a limit, even
if limited only by memory).  Third, you have a file descriptor leak,
in that some files are getting opened and never closed.  Eventually,
you run into your machine limits for open files.
