0000073: error 24: Too many open files
Here is an excerpt from a saved log. Contrary to a message in the log, I was able to save logs in the end.

These messages came up massively after amule 2.0rc3 had been running about a week.

Though there is other stuff going on on the system I cannot see "Too many open files" at this time.

Checked all the rights again. All files are owned by an amule specific user with rw access for only the user

Solved the issue by rebooting the server...
Don't know if that ties in with another bug report about not rehashing files in the folders.
