well, aside from a huge logfile, i suppose not. it *is* a sign of a bug, however. conserver must not be properly removing a file descriptor from it's list of open files (it might not have dropped a bad console structure or client structure or something else, even). it's hard to say for sure.
restarting conserver should "fix" it...in that it'll all start over and hopefully the bit of code that triggered the problem won't occur again (very soon, anyway).
but the real key is to try and get to 7.2.7 (if possible). i can't promise that the code that's at fault has been fixed in 7.2.7, but the chances are pretty good. i haven't heard of any major issues with 7.2.7...unless most folks have made the jump to 8.x.x and there's a lack of use of 7.2.7.
