[SunHELP] Too many files open ?

[Michael Karl]

Hey Nicholas,

what to do when a sun is hanging so hard, that you must switch of this
machine. I think, there is no crash dump after turn on and booting.
Please remember ... black screen (ok screensaver) ... no ping ...
no stop/a ... and no messages ?!?!

Regards Michael
