You have too many open file descriptors. This is relatively easy to fix.
See how many open file descriptors you already have:
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
The manpage for proc is out-of-date, but this is my interpretation: The first number
is a high-water mark. Second number is your current usage. Last number is your current
max.
If your high-water mark or current usage is near your current maximum, you can
increase your maximum file descriptors by
echo "10000" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
to set your max open fd's to 10000 (for example). I haven't found an upper limit on
the file-max yet.
