I don't know whether this would apply to R:Tango but I have seen the error with Oterro and VB on W2K Pro - after an app had been running for around 8 hours. In my case I was not releasing a database statement handle in an obscure part of the app - the app kept creating a new handle and eventually ended with the "Out of file handles" error. Releasing the handle in the code resolved the problem. Also, there is/was an issue with W2K where the OS can leak file handles in certain situations when files are created and closed rapidly - this is explained in MS KB article KB289509 - it is fixed by SP3.
