Yes, that's true, but DerCommisar wrote that he has a HP-UX 9000 box. And now that I found an HP box with Oracle today, that box (after setting
to the insane value of 'processes=2000') shows:

	ORA-07279: spcre: semget error, unable to get first semaphore set.
	HP-UX Error: 28: No space left on device
	Additional information: 1

HP boxes say "No space left on device" if you run out of semaphores or shared memory.
This was HP-UX 10.20, Oracle 7.1.6.
Still, since UNIX boxes have a tendency to show weird errno's for some system calls,
"File table overflow" might alsi be given unce some other strange condition.
