You may have two limits:

one from your shell: type ulimit -a (sh/bash/ksh) and check it.  The other
is the limit from the kernel, check by typing "sysctl kern.maxfiles".  You
may also know how many files are currently opened by using this command:
"syctl kern.nfiles".

In general, the first thing to do is to increase your limit from the
shell.  Check in man login.conf(5) for more details.
