Without a code fragment to look at, I can't say what the problem
actually is, but most likely you're leaving files open as you're
traversing these directories.  DOS can only have a small number (don't
recall what the exact number is -- it's specified in config.sys under
DOS, and not sure where on Windows) of files open at once.
