Not too familiar with Mac Os but I believe it's now based on FreeBSD... Anyway, it seems to be having some resource limitation problem (file descriptors is one of the Usual Suspects). The simplest thing to try to get going again would be a reboot. Then check system logs and try a MacOs forum/consultant...
