too many open files

[Murray Taylor]

I have have the same issue on a 8.0-RELEASE box and found with 
fstat the tgam_server was holding 12511 open files ...

A what purpose does this serve (google seems to indicate
that it is to speed up file access....)

B howinhell can I clobber it so it releases the files OR 
(preferably) doesn't start doing this or anything...?
