The output of "# fstat | wc -l" is 213.

kern.maxfiles = 1772

Tried this.  I'm not much on analyzing a kernel trace, but I could see 
from the trace that the file was opened.  And, it appears that some of 
the data was inserted.  However, I can't check via the database.  When I 
log in and try "desc tablename" I get the same Errcode: 23 for the 
corresponding mysql *.MYD file.  This happens with a number of the tables 
in the database.
