[Zope] Curious FreeBSD problem: Too many open files in system

You need to recompile your kernel with an higher value for MAXUSER parameter
(x2 or x4 the current value).

MAXUSER parameter helps the kernel handle the load of the machine(max file
numbers, buffers, etc...). Python&Zope opens loads of files on the
filesystem, so the default value for MAXUSER is not enough.

Hope that helps.
