Summary:                    NULL file descriptors causing GUI to eventually stop
functioning
Description: 
I'm having an issue where file descriptors for GUI manager sessions are
NULL, and after a period of time (24 hrs possibly), the GUI stops
functioning as it can no longer open config files (see below).

fd == -1 in astman_append, should not happen
fd == -1 in astman_append, should not happen
fd == -1 in astman_append, should not happen
  == HTTP Manager 'admin' timed out from 127.0.0.1
  == HTTP Manager 'admin' logged on from 127.0.0.1
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/http.conf':   == Not found (Too many open
files)
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/http.conf':   == Not found (Too many open
files)
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/http.conf':   == Not found (Too many open
files)

I'm not exactly sure what other info will be useful as Asterisk doesn't
crash or deadlock. I haven't checked yet to see if this happens in 1.6.1.
It doesn't appear to happen in my 1.4 install.
