Hi,
we are crashing with "too many open files" on PDFTeX from TeXlive. The object id where this happens is 513 or so, and it would be my guess that PDFTeX keeps image files open as long as it has not yet shipped them out.
It would appear that the system limitations of win32 are much larger, so I suspect the runtime with which TeXlive2007 has been compiled. I remember years ago when I started with my conference wrapper scripts

1500 papers, Fabrice Popineau (in cooperation with Hans) provided a version with did it. Since then I never had any reason to complain, so may be you should ask Fabrice.
