157770 - Saving preferences fails sometimes

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: XPCOM, defect)

Description

[Mike Kaply [:mkaply]]

We found that there were cases when creating the backup copy of 
prefs.js was failing with TOO_MANY_FILES so we were running out of 
filehandles.

Patch attached to check for that specific case and to up the number of 
file handles at startup. This was recommended by the OS/2 kernel guy.

Check for the out of handles error around DosCopy, and add an increase of the
file handles in nsAppRunner.

I'm going to mark this sr=blizzard since all the change is in OS/2 #ifdef or
OS/2 files.
