Nope. But it happens to me too.

I get a lot of problems "unable to load interpreter" as well as
"ld.so.something" and so on. These happens intermittetantly. It runs out
of filedescriptors it seems, etc. I have raised all of these open files,
fds etc to 1024 or 2048.

2.0.27, gcc 2.7.0, upgraded slackware 2.2.
