The problem is too many files open.

Add this to /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.maxfiles=3D16144

Then in a terminal type:=20

sysctl kern.maxfiles=3D16144

If you still get the error try increasing it some more.=20

Also you should read man tuning as the  error message suggests, especially =
the=20
section about kern.maxfiles.
