See here ( entry and comments) http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-nginx-too-many-open-files/ It's a 3 step process on Ubuntu. 1) Check the settings for fs.file-max in /etc/sysctl.conf 2)Edit /etc/security/limits.conf and bump up the file limit for the userid that you run GRASS under. I bumped mine up to 10000 for hard and soft 3) Add session required pam_limits.so to /etc/pam.d/common-session
