It's a general system file descriptors issue (not GNOME specific unless
it keeps  huge numbers of files open for some reason meaning there aren't
as many as expected left over for general system use), as the bug implies.
I've never had issues (but seldom do such many-part files and now use
klibido for binaries anyway) so haven't delved into the details. Perhaps
it's something that needs to be set at kernel compile?? (That /proc
setting would then be read-only/informational??)

Maybe someone else has dealt with it and thus knows more about it than I
do, but that should point you in the right direction for research if
nobody else posts any further.
