Hello-
   One thing to check is that the constant CACHED_ACLS in acl_files.c is set
to a number at least two lower than the maximum number of files open per
process configured in your kernel.  
   If this problem only happens after zephyrd has been running for a while,
another thing to verify is that the brain dump socket is in fact being
closed after it is used.  Compiling it with -DDEBUG and running it with the
-d flag should make it syslog "bd_offer" when it first offers a brain dump,
and either "sbd connected" or "bdump avail" if the brain dump takes place,
or "bdump not used" if it doesn't.  If there are unmatched "bd_offer"'s in
the syslog, that is a clue to the problem, although I do not see any
clues to potential leaks after looking through the code.  Having OLC running
at the same time should not affect this, btw.
