RE: CVS Checkout problem

[Seamus Donohue]

Larry,
thanks for your help - it is fixed, I looked into server settings - its
Linux - but there were no problems there.
It turned out to be one of the modules that we had specified contained a
directory that 
no longer existed. The error message could indeed be improved.

thanks for your help,

It would appear that you have a problem on your server.  There are
limits on the number of files a single process can have open at one
time, as well as an overall system limit.  It would seem that you are
running into one of those limits.
