Summary:                    rtp.c:2438 rtp_socket: Unable to allocate RTCP
socket: Too many open files
Description: 
Asterisk 1.6.1.18
120 SIP accounts
System: Linux asterisk-whs 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5PAE
https://issues.asterisk.org/view.php?id=1 SMP
System give me this error : "rtp.c:2438 rtp_socket: Unable to allocate
RTCP socket: Too many open files" 
when it reach about 4000 calls (4/5 working days). Then system crash, it
didn't accept inbound or outbound calls. I've setted in
/etc/init.d/asterisk:

echo -n "Setting ulimits: "
        ulimit -n 32768 -c unlimited && echo "OK" || echo "FAILED"

and I've setted in sip.conf
session-timers=refuse
But it didn't work.
Thanks a lot for any help, this server is used in a production enviroment,
actually I restart asterisk every 4 days and it works ( I suppose that when
I restart asterisk the system reset the number of open files)
