Yes, we've seen this before but not for a long time. It means that there are too many files, pipes or dbs open. That could be due to a bug (forgot to close something). As long as it does not happen again, I wouldn't worry. The problem is likely fixed in a future version. If it persists, try to diagnose the source (execd,agent etc)
