It would be nice to see the source code that emitted this error
message since, AFAIK, this does not come from any of the programs
or libraries installed by DJGPP.

The help file under 'errno' has this to say:

 EMFILE - Too many open files in system (no more handles available).
 This usually means that the number specified by the `FILES='
 directive in `CONFIG.SYS' is too small.
