I have this issue as well - interestingly enough, also a webchat app, and when I have ~400 online users, I get the EMFILE error. From looking around at other issues with socket.io, it seems that this may be related to https://github.com/LearnBoost/socket.io/issues/438 - in fact, I believe the OP may have solved his problems by commenting out a line in socket.io:
"I have a m1.small on EC2, just with node (0.8.14) and socket.io (0.9.11) and I have this issue. After a while, nodejs got a "EMFILE" many times, without stop or restart (just with manual restart). I think that '677 hack' help a lot with 'EMFILE' error as well." Max, can you comment on the success of the '677 hack'?
