Too many open files means your system has run out of file descriptors, if you
are running linux (and your interchange server is not running with limited
file descriptors), you can increase the number of available descriptors by
running: 'echo 8192 > /proc/sys/file-max' (use 'cat /proc/sys/file-max' first
to see what it is currently set at, and increase the number appropriately.
You also might want to find out what is using so many file descriptors on
your server, and if you opt to fix it by using the command above, keep in
mind that you will have to arrange to run that command after every reboot,
using whatever system your distribution uses for that.
