I just tried the OS/2 binary; it solves the nodelist.pl problem I was having,
but the "Too many open files" bug remains. When I connect to Gert Andersen
(2:230/***@fidonet), it displays "Too many open files" error messages on screen
and loops creating 0 byte .hr files in the inbound directory until I kill it
with CTRL-C. When it terminates, there are 50 *.bsy flags left orphaned in my
outbound directories.

I wonder if this is some sort of overflow caused by Gert having so many
addresses? He's currently presenting 82 addresses. My old 2005-vintage binkd
1.0a-446/OS2 version doesn't have a problem with him, but it also doesn't
support BZ2 compression or PERL.

Max, thanks for making this available; with any luck we'll be able to figure
out the problem and devise a solution.

It may have other problems too. It sent the file OK, but before I could send
the M_GOT, your end disconnected. No M_EOB either. See below. Sorry if the
line wrap makes it tough to read.

This was because I hit CTRL-C to abort because another call came in from the
problem node. AFAICT, this problem only occurs with Gert Andersen
2:230/***@fidonet, probably becuase he has so many addresses (82 as of today
when I checked.) When I get a moment, I need to take a look at the code and
see it I can track down this issue.

That would explain what I saw.

The issue is that binkd keeps the bsy files open.
You may want to increase SHELLHANDLESINC in your CONFIG.SYS.

That did the trick; it appears to be working fine now.
