Sorry to follow up to my own message, but I found another piece of the puzzle:
smail's paniclog file:
09/29/96 09:09:44: [m0v7Hse-000Cu6C] cannot open /var/log/smail/logfile: File table overflow
09/29/96 09:09:44: [m0v7Hse-000Cu6C] cannot open /var/log/smail/paniclog: File table overflow
Smail is my mail transport agent.. I presume I ran out of filehandles or something?
