[cups.general] Unable to create cert file... too many open files

I'm having a very unusual error with cups. The daemon fails every few 
hours. I get this error (repeatedly):

E [10/Apr/2005:10:37:49 -0600] AddCert: Unable to create certificate 
file /etc/cups/certs/0 - Too many open files

I haven't done anything special with the config. I installed cups on my 
SuSE computer, and then used YaST2 to set the printers up.

Here's my cupsd.conf:
