  This is becouse of a bug caused by the way we called open to open the files.  
chmod the files +rw for the user the transport is running as, and you'll be all 
set.  It's been fixed, but in the new code, not the old..  I can post the fix 
later today for .06.  It's a simple 2 line change.

  I'm not sure why "Too many open files" happened.  Well, I KNOW why it 
happened, but the OS is what returned an error when Jabbertransport tried to 
call an accept on an incoming connection.  jabbertransport simply detected the 
error, and printed out the strerror for the error reported by the call.. ;-P  
See this snippet:

          new = accept(c_count->id, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, &size);
          h_err(new, "accept"); 

  Now, h_err is a very simple function..

void h_err(int check, char *err)
{
  if (check < 0)
  {
    syslog(SYSLOG_ERROR, err, strerror(errno));
    raise(SIGTERM);
  }
}
