I solved the problem! I had to edit the file /etc/security/limits.conf so it contained the line:
* - nofile 2048 This tells the system to set a limit of 2048 to open files for all the users by default (check "man limits.conf"). I guessed the double of the default 1024 would be fine. It has worked for me. Of course, this is just a workaround; I guess this limit should be changed by default in the distro. Anyway, running: echo "* - nofile 2048" >> /etc/security/limits.conf should do the trick.
