I am encountering this error sometimes when i run the icebox/icestorm client. I am not able to understand what can cause this?
Can anyone give some pointers to look?

Client is running on Linux and server in windows. Ice 3.6.2 being used.

    The error indicates that the process has exceed the maximum open file descriptors. In Linux you can see the current limits with the command:

    ulimit -a

    If your client opens too many connections or files you might need to raise the limits.

    Thanks for the reply.

    If the server is down, and if ice client tries reconnecting will it open a new connection without closing the previous?

    Accepted Answer

    If the server is down the client connection will be closed as soon as it detects server is down. See https://doc.zeroc.com/display/Ice36/Connection+Management

    If you enable network tracing in your client you will be able to see when a new connection is open, https://doc.zeroc.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=16716654
