    I backup my wife's Windows ME system to free space on one of my hard
    drives each night, and have been receiving the message "too many open
    files". While rsync is pretty intensive, I've been living with the
    problem. However, I was trying to fix a Windows Explorer bug, and
    downloaded a registry patch.

    mv: cannot stat `exp.txt': Too many open files in system

    While composing this message, I was successfully able to mv exp.txt
    exp.reg and back without that message, and my wife has both her email
    and Netscape running.

    My system is SuSE 8.2 with current updates applied, 2.4.20 Athalon
    kernel. The Windows system is Windows ME.

    Normally, at night she leaves her email program up, but closes the
    browser.
