Description:I'm testing 1.4.19-rc2, and i noticed that at some point Asterisk stopped delivering queue calls. I was unable to connect with "asterisk -r", so i checked log, and it was full of "Too many open files" (fragment with beginning of that atached).
Killed with -11, backtraces attached.

What is the CLI output of "ulimit -n" ?  With over 400 threads, you could legitimately have used up all 1024 file descriptors (the default limit) without having a file descriptor leak at all.

It's 1024, however i normally don't have 400 threads - i suspect it's the consequences of using up file descriptors. There are lot of threads that corresponds to manager actions.

Anything to look for, to find cause of this?

I recommend using 'ulimit -n' to increase the number of available file descriptors for your process.  Unless you can demonstrate otherwise, I see this as you having 400 threads, and you met the limit legitimately, without a leak.
