Too much descriptors could be opened if you have glibc with bug in
"gethostbyname".
To check if your glibc has this bug, during running of "index" run command
"netstat -u". If it returns many (> -N) lines, then your glibc has a bug.
Alternatively, you can find out open files by looking to the directory
/proc/<PID>/fd , where <PID> is the process ID of "index".
