Sounds like an OS restriction to me. On Linux I'd inspect the setting of ulimit -n and raise it. Looks like OSX has a similar setting: http://kasei.com/pipermail/plucene/2004-March/000089.html

That link is broken. http://usrinapto.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/mac-os-x-10-6-max-open-files-too-many-open-files/ has another description how to increase the open file limit on OSX.
