Larry, thanks for your help - it is fixed, I looked into server settings - its Linux - but there were no problems there. It turned out to be one of the modules that we had specified contained a directory that no longer existed. The error message could indeed be improved.

There are limits on the number of files a single process can have open at one time, as well as an overall system limit. It would seem that you are running into one of those limits. -Larry Jones Something COULD happen today.
