Thank you for your replies. I disabled session persistence. Looks like a good idea overall, I don't need to preserve any state between tomcat restarts anyway.
Regarding number of inodes, I currently have about 6M of them, 3% utilization, so I don't think that could be a problem. Thanks for the per-user fd limit tip, I didn't realize there was one. I raised it from 1024 to 4096 just to make sure. The number of open fds now, during normal operation is between 200 and 300. Now I'll only wait and if the problem occurs again, at least I know what parameters to look at (# of fds, # of free inodes) before I restart tomcat, which has been an emergency workaround for this issue since it's a production server, so I only looked at it post mortem. The link to Cocoon Jira was also useful, they mention the XSLT document() call might be a problem, leaving unclosed fds. I do use it 2 or 3 times per page load in my custom theme. I wanted to redo it into an asynchronous Javascript call anyway. Thanks again.
