I have an updated patch on ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/kernel/

The main difference between this and the "filehandle.patch.linux" version is
that it sets the soft limit of the # of available file descriptor to
256 and the hard limit to 3000 for all processes. Some processes, most
notably rpc.portmap, die a horrible death if the number of available
filedescriptors is > 1024 (or even > 256 for older programs/libcs).
