Unfortunately, the developer is in the Netherlands.  In this particular
situation, the guys working on the specific problem do speak to the
developer frequently because this is an ongoing project with a rather
ambitious time frame. So, in this case, we have a guy here who is 100%
dedicated to this client problem with 3 VMs. Yesterday we ran into a
"too many Open Files" issue. That is an easy one to solve, I bumped up
the soft and hard file limits.
