Unable to create cert file... too many open files

[bothapn at lantic.net]

I have the exact same problem. I'm thinking this is relevant to Suse. The system is i586 with updated packages and I have tried all f the 8 solutions offerred by Google.

Have anyone compared Suse en some distro like Fedora is this matter?
