      Trying to navigate to Jenkins web site, browser keeps loading and loading. When checked on Jenkins console it showed that Jenkins failed with the following:

      Jul 6, 2012 1:49:28 PM winstone.Logger logInternal
SEVERE: Error during HTTP listener init or shutdown
java.net.SocketException: Too many open files
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAccept(Native Method)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.accept(PlainSocketImpl.java:408)

      I have verified open files and it seems that unreasonable large number of descriptors is open to various jar files, with jenkins-core being the leader:

      $ ls -la /proc/26867/fd | grep jar | wc -l
      876
      $ ls -la /proc/26867/fd | grep jenkins-core | wc -l
      462
      $ ls -la /proc/26867/fd | grep stapler | wc -l
      173
