As a temporary work around I just no longer create a CacheOnDisk
object (by commenting out line cache.py:301  self.disk = CacheOnDisk
(request) )  and this works fine (since I am not using any disk
caching).

I still contend there is some bug here, and most likely its that each
time a controller is executed a new environment is created (and hence
new cache objects) but they never get deleted, and the file handles
(to cache.lock) don't get closed. This is a bigger problem on OS X
where each process has a default limit of 256 open files, but may not
be apparent on linux, etc which may have a much larger max open file
limit.
