I frequently experience the 'table is full' problem, and I can't track
it down reliably.  Recently, it was suggested to look for runaway
processes.  First, I found that sometimes Navigator 4 had gone
ballistic occupying 90% of the CPU while "doing nothing".  So beware.

But netscape is not always running when this problem arises.  Nor do I
think that the system limits in my kernel are too low.  I checked out
sys/conf/param.c and deduced that a MAXUSER setting of 10 allows 6400
open file descriptors.  That sounds like plenty to me.

So, I'm still wondering whether there's some way of determing how many
open descriptors each process has.  Surely this info is in a data
structure somewhere, no?  Is there an app or functions to access this?

thanks,
