One thing which is real easy to check and modify is the
limit on the number of open files.

ulimit -n

will show the current limit for this.

ulimit -n xxxx

will set this to some new value.

Other limits are perhaps not so easily changed.

Considering how hard you are running things there might
be some chance you are running into this limit.

I am curious however, why you are not running this
on some version of Linux.  Win2k may be a great
improvement over win9x, but it is still a second rate OS.
Cygwin is outstanding in those cases where there is no
choice but to use windows.  Linux is outstanding when
you do have a choice.
