Open file timeouts?

Hi everybody,

I have been having a problem with an application that takes ca. 40 days to
run. After that time it crashes on my when it tries to access a file it
had previously opened. At first I thought some process was deleting my
files such that the handle was broken. But that is not the case. Now I am
wondering whether there is some kind of timeout on open file handles. I
found the kernel vnode_age attribute but have failed to find a useful
explanation of what that does.

TIA,

        Christopher
