Hi,
Did this problem ever get resolved? I have run into the exact same problem as Ronald with my GlassFish server. -Dcom.sun.enterprise.server.ss.ASQuickStartup=false is set and ulimit for file descriptors is 1024.

http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=286954#286954 suggested to raise ulimit to 65536, but I doubt that should help. It should only delay the problem because something, either glassfish or the domain running on it must be leaking file descriptors it seem.
If patches exist, has they been integrated into GlassFish or do you need a support contract for that?
