There are no related kernel messages in any log (console or system).

That's a weird one. As you mention, there's only a couple of places this error (which is "ENFILE", not "EMFILE", btw) could be coming from, namely fdalloc and getnewvnode. In both cases the system calls tablefull, which logs a syslog entry using the following code: [My reading of the default "/etc/syslog.conf" indicates that these sorts of logs would end up in the console, but I'm not exactly a syslog expert so you might want to double check in the syslog man pages.] S+E -- Quinn "The Eskimo!" <http://www.apple.com/developer/> Apple Developer Technical Support * Networking, Communications, Hardware _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
