Make that 3 - but I've had this problem intermittently for a few
weeks. It seems to sort out if you remove the .gdbm files and restart
interchange. At the moment I'm putting it down to too many open files
for the server, but I might well be wrong there. I've tried increasing
/proc/sys/fs/file-max so we'll see if that helps.

Certainly it's not a problem for all the catalogs, only one in
particular. 

In my logs I'm getting:

Recently, and only in this one machine which hasn't been running IC
for that long. Fortunately it's just our test server.

No I can't recreate the problem, but over time it will happen again.
