NodeJS error "EMFILE, too many open files" on Mac OS

For sometime I am having the following error:

Error: EMFILE, too many open files '/Users/blagus/Gallery/Websites/Nicsware/Pills/resources/core/auth.node.js'
 at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:427:18)
 at Object.fs.readFileSync (fs.js:284:15)
 at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:473:44)
 at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
 at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
 at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
 at require (module.js:380:17)
 at instController (/Users/blagus/Gallery/Websites/Nicsware/Pills/engine/mvc.node.js:79:31)
 at init (/Users/blagus/Gallery/Websites/Nicsware/Pills/engine/mvc.node.js:57:8)
 at route (/Users/blagus/Gallery/Websites/Nicsware/Pills/engine/dispatcher.node.js:268:36)

The line of code making the call to this file (mvc.node.js:79) is

 this.currentRoute.class = require( controllerFile )[dispatchClass].bind( this );

(it is a framework I am creating)

As you can see, the file auth.node.js is called by a REQUIRE, so the given solutions with gracefullFS and similar does not fit. Besides, this problem occour MacOS only. In a Ubuntu seems to work just fine.

Any thoughts?

How to Tag

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.

complete the sentence: my question is about...
use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
favor using existing popular tags
read the descriptions that appear below the tag

If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:

combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
