This is an odd resource problem. Maybe memory related? It looks like you have already opened the file descriptor and are unable to read it. If it were a problem with file descriptors I would expect to see resource errors when trying to open() them. But here you already have an fd and cannot read() it. This isn't likely a kernel limit but rather a user limit. What does ulimit report?
