Yes, you can (up to 254 files, actually).  The latest version of the
FAQ (v2/faq211b.zip) explains some of the related subtleties in
section 9.6.

Please set FILES=255, reboot and see if it helps.  If not, please post 
the shortest program that exhibits the problem, and also tell more about
your system setup (which OS? which version?).
