The default max file handles in most Linux installs (1024) for Jenkins is woefully inadequate.
Java itself will have many open files to libs and jars, jenkins will then have the for jobs, users and slaves. I recall also that the lib used by the fd plugin doesn't count all for descriptors and I think I submitted a patch. It certainly will only get descriptors opened after it is hooked up which is after java itself has got may handles which can give you a significant difference. I would up the limit and then run a periodic check on the file handles to check that there are no leaks over time.
