Question: "File table overflow" (Linux 2.0.33pre6)

I'm seeing more and more "file table overflow" related error messages, from
various machines doing various things (mail, ip masq, squid, ..). All
machines are running the sixth pre-release of kernel 2.0.33.

Could this problem be kernel related, and if so is it fixed in the actual
2.0.33 release? If not, is it on the 2.0.34 fix-list?

Or should I just blame increasing system load?
