The too many open files issue has been raised before on the Cloud Foundry forums.
I have worked around this before (on my Micro Cloud Foundry instance) using the approach outlined here.
You need to edit /var/vcap/packages/dea/dea/lib/dea/agent.rb to increase the open file limit. You can do this as described by Martin Englund on his forum post. Obviously you can’t do this on CloudFoundry.com.
Hope this helps.
