When ppp connects after it's been running for a number of days, I get
this error near the end of the log:

09-19 05:42:01 [14689]  myaddr = 206.11.194.29  hisaddr = 206.11.195.250
socket: Too many open files

09-19 05:42:01 [14689] CCP: LayerFinish.
09-19 05:42:01 [14689] CCP: state change Req-Sent --> Stopped

It doesn't affect my connection.  Is there a way to prevent getting
the ``socket:too many open files'' error?
