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

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

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.
