can't open applications / files through nautilus (too many files opened)

[MarK']

hi, after a variable time i'm using ubuntu nautilus (at least i think it's nautilus) becomes unstable and i can no more open my files, or launch applications from a desktop shortcut (nothing happens);
when i try to open a file with "right click -> open" a popup appears saying that child communication pipe creation failed (too many files opened)

if i try to launch an application from the menù it works, if i use console to launch applications everything works, if i log out and log in again the system comes back to a normal state.

i dont know how to reproduce this bug, and the standard logfiles (kern.log, syslog auth.log etc etc) report nothing :(

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? That could be bug #183411, do you still have the issue?

I am getting this when deleting a bunch of files & mp3s. I did what the person above said and closed exaile and logged out and back in and haven't got the error yet. If I do I will come back and post another comment.
