Does anyone know of a way of determining how many IFS files are currently open, i.e. file descriptors opened with the UNIX-style open() IFS API?

I have an application that is crashing with return code 3452 "Too many open files for this process". I suspect a file is being opened somewhere and not
closed, but tracing the offending code is proving difficult and I would like to be able to check the open file count at various points in processing.

Thanks

Pete
