   The WF makes sure that there are *lots* of files available for its
child processes. The problem is that since the WF uses file handles 1
through about 9 or 10, the child process gets file handles 10 through
whatever (much more than 20 left). The problem is that MSC has an array
of objects that it indexes with the file handle -- this array is from 1
20. So no matter how many file handles are left available, MSC can only
use those numbered less than 20 -- and there's fewer of those left than
it wants to use. (No comments on this design)
