Socket troubles: Too many open files

[Christopher Clements <christopher.a.clements () gmail com>]

During a scan last night, nmap failed with the following error:

Socket troubles: Too many open files
Socket troubles: Too many open files
nmap: nsock_core.c:1187: nsp_add_event: Assertion `nse->iod->sd >= 0'
failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

It was a full TCP/partial UDP scan of about 70 internet hosts.  Any other
information I can provide?  I'm unfortunately not sure I'll be able to run
the scan again to try to replicate.
