I feel the need to mention that ever since 4.1-RELEASE, the trafshow port causes
this kind of error if left to run for several hours. I tried to figure out what
changed from 4.0 but could not. lsof reports that the number of file
descriptors used by trafshow slowly increases with time. My gdb skills have
deteriorated enough that I'm unable to come up with a fix in the time I have
available. Sorry.
If you're not using trafshow, what program is using too many file descriptors?

Er, no it doesn't. This means you have too many open files in the system.
If 'maxusers' is less than 128, bump that up first. Then you can try
defining MAXFILES in your config file if you still hit the limit; check
the output of 'sysctl kern.maxfiles' to find what it's currently at.

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
