check your ulimits (man ulimit),
perhaps of that kernel max open fd is very low.
To see how many fd you can have open, use ulimit -n
On a standard vanilla kernel, this limit is set to 1024,
that's ok for most uses (even with a full 4 pri board
in use with 120 calls)

you can also check how many fd has your asterisk open
with something like "lsof | grep pipe | grep asterisk"
