A "too many open files" error is usually due to running out of file

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.
