I don't think that it's related to the engine.
I've never seen it on any ovirt setup that I have.
Anyway, you can try running:
lsof -c ovirt | wc -l
In order to see how many open files ovirt is using.
Changing the limits of the OS shouldn't cause any bad behaviour.
You can read a little bit about it - there is a soft limit and a hard limit.

Thank you for your fast reply,
currently the maximum is set to 1024.
I'll check back with my colleagues when they are in the office again.
A quick check on some different systems shows this seems to be pretty
standard behaviour, so why should it cause problems?
Can this be circumvented in the agent?
I must look first into what side-effects this change may introduce.
