inode table full

[Kevin Sullivan]

After running our Vax 780 under 4.2BSD for several days (6 or 7 maybe) we
begin getting 'inode: inode table full' messages on the console,  even though
it doesn't seem that the table should really be used up.  Has anyone else
noticed this kind of behavior?  Is the kernel corrupting itself after running
for a while?  Is there a fix if this is actually the problem?  Thanks.
