You need to provide more information: version, OS, any error or debug
messages generated.

I don't have this problem with 7.0 on Linux.

But first, check that it isn't an OS issue. "ulimit -n" reports the
maximum number of open files (in 7.0, you need two per map). Also,
each completed raster needs a subdirectory within the cell_misc
directory, and some filesystems impose a limit on the number of
subdirectories (often much lower than the limit on the number of
files).
