Just an idea: how many .nfs789A3A etc. files do you have  in your omni
directory? Could it be that they are somehow still kept open (which would
probably be a bug, but never mind)

Incidentally, inode counts don't help: it's the process that has run out of
file handles (this is system defined, see OPEN_MAX in /usr/include/limits.h;
this is typically 64 or so).

Cheers,

                                                                      Philip
