PHP MapScript?

You seem to have two processes with each about 30-40 files open, mostly 
shared libraries. That's nothing to worry about or to take a system down.

Perhaps you need to re-check after 20-30 minutes of operation, when the 
web server locks up (this is what happens, right?). What we're looking 
for is an indication of a leak of file handles, i.e. the same file 
opened hundreds of times... then we'll need to find out why that file is 
never closed.

Which error message did you get exactly that led you to think that there 
was a problem of too many files opened? Does the same problem happen if 
you connect directly to the instance of Apache that comes with FGS 
instead of going through the Tomcat server?
