Comment (by Joel.Brogniart@…):

 The problem is frequently seen with OS X 10.11 as the max opened files per
 process is severely reduced.

 With OS X 10.9.5 "sysctl -A | grep kern.maxfiles" returned

 {{{
 kern.maxfiles: 300000
 kern.maxfilesperproc: 150000
 }}}

 With 10.11.4 the result is

 {{{
 kern.maxfiles: 300000
 kern.maxfilesperproc: 10240
 }}}

 So it went from 150k to 1k!
