Re: Error Message

["Dale L. Brewe" <brewe@pnc.aps.anl.gov>]

This happened to us awhile back when we were opening a file using ftp 
rather than nfs. The file wasn't getting closed between writes to the file 
and so the file descriptor wasn't getting released.  I think it happened 
after we installed a tcp wrapper for in.ftpd on the host where the file 
resided. Opening the file w/ NFS solved the problem.
