Description:
in fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io() there is a message:

if (count >= 2) {
		ut_print_timestamp(stderr);
		fprintf(stderr,
			"  InnoDB: Warning: too many (%lu) files stay open"
			" while the maximum\n"
			"InnoDB: allowed value would be %lu.\n"
			"InnoDB: You may need to raise the value of"
			" innodb_max_files_open in\n"
			"InnoDB: my.cnf.\n",
			(ulong) system->n_open, (ulong) system->max_n_open);

		return;
	}

There is no such option, innodb_max_files_open.  It should be innodb_open_files

How to repeat:
read code.

Another similar problem in:

fil_open_log_and_system_tablespace_files()

if (system->max_n_open < 10 + system->n_open) {
fprintf(stderr,
	"InnoDB: Warning: you must"
	" raise the value of"
	" innodb_max_open_files in\n"
        "InnoDB: my.cnf! Remember that"

Shane, thanks for noticing. Where do you think it should be fixed, 5.1 or 6.0? The assignment
depends on this.

Noted in 5.1.41, 5.5.0, 6.0.14 changelogs.

An InnoDB error message incorrectly referred to the nonexistent
innodb_max_files_open variable rather than to innodb_open_files.
