VFS: maximum file size 1231582

Question

I am running the Linux 2.6.36 kernel and I see some random errors. Such things as

ls: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: Error 23

Yes, my system cannot run the 'ls' command sequentially :(

I note a few errors in dmesg output:

# dmesg | tail

Obviously, file-max errors look suspicious, and the latter are grouped together.

# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
1231582
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
1231712 0       1231582

This also looks a little strange, but the fact is that I can not open 1.2 million files on this system. I use it only one, and it is not displayed to anyone outside the local network.

# lsof | wc
  16046  148253 1882901
# ps -ef | wc 
    574    6104   44260

I saw the documentation that said:

file-max and file-nr:

The kernel dynamically allocates files, but so far does not free them.
