Try something like this as root:
root# cat /proc/sys/kernel/file-max
1024
root# echo 4096 >/proc/sys/kernel/file-max
That should shut it up. If this solves the problem, a q&d fix would be to
add this to rc.local. The long term fix is to recompile the kernel with this
new value instead. And that is not as hard as you might assume.
