Didn't I mention that before? - the vm I can only identify as 5.0-201807260206 from the lib/squeak directory name. Levente thinks that's the default one for the original 5.3 alpha package that is almost certainly what I downloaded to build this system 18 months ago. Sounds plausible to me.
If I have to restart anytime soon I'll try the latest VM and see if it makes any difference. So far today nothing is going wrong though; it has crept up to 20 fds open - 4 sockets right now.

Still curious as to what VM you're using...

This morning there were 976 fds. So I restarted and watched and .. 18. It's sitting there all happy and as if, as we say in the UK, "butter wouldn't melt in its mouth". What, me? Cause problems? How can you be so cruel to a young server?
Maybe a port scanning/attack of some sort flooded it?
