I'd scan /proc/n/fd where n is the pid.
For example:
cd /proc
for pid in [0-9]*
do ls $pid/fd | wc -l | awk -v pid=$pid '{print pid ": " $0}'
done | sort -n +1
That should get you a listing of pids and the number of open files they
have, sorted by number of files so your culprit(s) should be at the
bottom of the list. Then look at /proc/n/cmdline for values of n
matching the last few pids in the listing. (I've tested that script
above - it works.)
