Every time I run emerge rsync I get a failure. It happens for every rsync server I connect to. What the heck is happening?

It happens even when emerge rysnc goes to different mirrors. I can emerge packages ok. However, I can't update my rsync The only other information I've been able to find on this kind of error: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF- 8&threadm=3DFF1595.9040600%40cvzoom.net&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3D%2522too% 2Bmany%2Bopen%2Bfiles%2522%2Bgentoo%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26hl%3Den Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. whenever I do emerge rsync (regardless of which mirror it sends me to) 2. 3. bash-2.05b# emerge info emerge info Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/shar e/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /opt/tomcat/conf /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr /share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="oss 3dnow apm avi foomaticdb mad mikmod nls pdflib xv slang guile sdl gpm pam esd opengl acpi -apache apache berkdb cdr crypt cups encode evo flash gb gdbm gif -gnome -gtk gtkhtml imap imlib innodb ipv6 java jikes jpeg kde kerberos lcms ldap libg++ libgda libwww mbox mmx motif mozilla mpeg mule mysql ncurses odbc oggvorbis pda perl pic png python postgres qt qtmt quicktime readline ruby samba scanner spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd truetype X xml xml2 xmms zeo x86 zlib arts" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
that google link is completely unrelated
Offhand, unless there are massive amounts of open files portage is leaving open (possible via anydbm/eclass cache), this sounds like it isn't portage's fault. I'd be curious about your user limits you established? Reopen w/ the info if this is still persisting.
