Whenever I try to any of several operations (as admin or user) such as delete an image, I get a "Too many files open" error. Example is below. I have tried a fresh install several times (both full and typical). Installation completes normally.
Any ideas? Without shell access, it is possible to determine how many files are open and what the limit is?
Thanks!

what's the server setting for the max nr of open file handles?
ulimit -a

The only thing that is limited is:
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) 1573888
I called tech support, and they insisted that there isn't a limit on open files. Of course, that isn't true if there is a limit set in the kernel, but that is the answer I got. Whether he understood the difference between a "file" and an "open file" is unclear.
<?php echo exec('ulimit -n'); ?> returns 32.

It happens even when I try to delete a single image. Just to thorough, I asked if they could up the limit. Not surprisingly, the answer was no.

switch to database based locking in
site admin -> general (at the bottom of the page).
