The FD ( file descriptor ) table is mem . so i was thinking if that
could be a memory issue. But i think i need to know some basic
explanation of what might be the causes of this .. i doubt .. some
libraries being unlinked such that the process is trying to find the
same and is not being able to find it .
I would really appreciate to learn more about this .. and if anyone of
you have faced similar problems before. .

Nitin
