Thank you very much to:

Dr. Tom Blinn

There are several reasons which could cause such an error:

o Use of a file descriptor that doesn't correspond to an open file.

o Reading from a file that was opened write-only.

o Writing to a file that was opened read-only.
            


Original question was:

>What does the error message "Bad file number" mean? I found that it was
>defined in <errno.h> as error code "9".
>
>The reason, why I am asking this is, we got a database agent from
>"Openlink" and when I try to run it, we get this error message.
>
>What could cause such an error (generally spoken)?
