How can I fix a leveldb read failure, too many open files.

Code:

LevelDB read failure: IO error: /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/blocks/index/061074.sst: Too many open files
2014-04-24 06:28:02 IO error: /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/blocks/index/061074.sst: Too many open files

Should I just increase the number of open files on the system? It is ubuntu 12.10.

Edit: Also looking thru the logs I get this error as well.

Code:

ERROR: bool GetTransaction(const uint256&, CTransaction&, uint256&, bool) : Deserialize or I/O error - CAutoFile::operator>> : file handle is NULL

"In a nutshell, the network works like a distributed timestamp server, stamping the first transaction to spend a coin. It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle." -- Satoshi

I guess I have a long day of testing out numbers. Either I get a buffer overflow, or I get that other error.

Maybe an open file handle leak? On Linux could be easily checked by peeking into /proc file system while the program is running.
