погуглив изменил параметры:
echo "16000" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
ulimit -n 8192

а так же на всякий пожарный:
# cat /etc/security/limits.conf
mailman         hard    nofile          8192
mailman         soft    nofile          8192
root            hard    nofile          8192
root            soft    nofile          8192

Кто нибудь может подсказать, этого достаточно что бы избавиться от проблемы?!

Заранее спасибо!!!
