Thanks, it did help in warning me away from lsof but it only talks about 
open file descriptors for the whole system or for a particular process 
and not per user.  I started fiddling with something like:

# cd /proc
# find .  -user simon -not -type d | grep fd | wc -l

but I know nothing about the proc filesystem and suspect this is not 
even close to being right.
