3133.1	max_nofile?	TOOK::MINTZ	Erik Mintz, dtn 226-5033	`Thu Jun 04 1992 21:11`	9
	The file /sys/conf/mips/param.c has a parameter max_nofile. The installation guide suggests changing this from 64 to 256. Has that been done? If so, and you are using alarms heavily, you may want to try a larger value (we seem to use something like 800 or 1024). Note that you have to rebuild the kernel to make this take effect. -- Erik

	Also you might post the output of a /etc/pstat -T command.
