Too many open files

[Davy Campano]

After a little more research, it looks like the php-cgi processes that are
being proxied to by nginx may be the problem.  It looks like the php-cgi
processes had a lot of files left open.

I ran `lsof | wc -l` and the result was 139566

After a restart of the php-cgi processes, the result was only 12045
