All of the weirdness happened after I did `M-x gnus' (triggering the autoload of stuff). Finally I saw an error message that led me to check my 'limit' command in my shell and sure enough, it said that I had a limit of 64 file descriptors. I bumped it up to 256 and now I can run gnus. So, my question is...has something happened that that would cause gnus/emacs (19.33 & xemacs 19.14) to chew up a whole lot more file descriptors? Like I said, it's been a while...this might be the first time that I've gotten any 5.4.x release going...
