[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk 1.0.1 Too many open files

[Eric]

Hi Sean,

Thanks for your reply, but that wasn't exactly what I was getting at.

I don't need to increase the system's imposed limit on the number of
open files.  I'm more concerned to see if anyone has run across a
memory or fd leak in asterisk that sucks them all up.

There should be no reason that I hit my limit of open files on this
machine.  Restarting asterisk immediately solved the problem, so
I'm leaning towards a leak, however, I didn't have the opportunity,
in the moment, to check and see how many files and what type were
open.
