SubjectRunning out of file handles in 89, 90?

Since 2.1.89 I have been running out of file handles (too many open files)
... and always at the most inopportune times ;)

Has anyone else had this problem? With earlier kernels, there was a
/proc modification which would allow more open files, but I don't believe
this is the problem: The machine is not super-busy when this error
occurs (quite the opposite, both times, it has happened when we have
been way for more than a day; the only activity would be the auto
logins fetching popmail and running nntpcache)

I'm running i386/Pentium, with 32Mb RAM, and this problem did not
occur in 2.1.88 and before. The problem manifests as this message
about too many open files in the system log, sometimes as an error
trying to create a socket. In both cases, PPPD is unable to create
a connection.
