A "too many open files" error is usually due to running out of file descriptors for network sockets. On my Linux machine the per-process limit for file descriptors defaults to 1024, and on my Mac the default is 256. You can see your current limit by running "ulimit -a" from the terminal.
If you're on Linux, then you may $ ls -lah /proc/PID/fd to see where these open files are pointing to. HTH, -- Felipe.
