This is almost certainly due to some limit (most likely in the number 
of open files) in your OS, not an inherent limit in our software.

And this confirms the above (because any limit in our software would 
have to be per-process).

>Any idea on how to fix this?

Reconfigure your OS to increase the maximum number of open files 
(sockets) that it can have at a time.  (How you would do this depends 
upon your particular OS.)
