Hello,

I am having a problem with communicator 4.04.  When I run it as a normal
user it starts with an error:

could not dup() a stderr:  
Too many open files

This is presented as a message box.  If you click ok and continue to try
to browse, it continues normally except no images are loaded.

I am using Communicator 4.04 that came in the /packages directory of the
2.2.6 cdrom from CheapBytes.  I am assuming this is the same as what is on
the FTP site.  

Here are some command outputs <edited for clarity>:
