FBSD10 Update: Out of file descriptors

Hi,

I've just upgraded several boxes to 10-REL, most went fine.

2 boxes however i'm having problems with, both were on 9.1-RELEASE-p3

(1)  only reboots to single user mode, and dmesg reports Out of file 
descriptors.

On this box mergemaster failed to update many many files (40+) so i had 
to manually edit (scary) files and i figured i'd made a mistake 
somewhere as several of the edits were inline sh loops.

however a more recent upgrade (2), after the initial reboot and post 2nd 
freebsd-update install also reports Out of file descriptors.

( no manual mergemaster updates other than trivial sendmail/submit merges)

-------
install: 
///usr/src/cddl/contrib/dtracetoolkit/Docs/Notes/dapptrace_notes.txt: 
Not a directory
install: 
///usr/src/cddl/contrib/dtracetoolkit/Docs/Notes/dtruss_notes.txt: Not a 
directory
install: 
///usr/src/cddl/contrib/dtracetoolkit/Docs/Notes/iosnoop_notes.txt: Not 
a directory
install: 
///usr/src/cddl/contrib/dtracetoolkit/Docs/Notes/iotop_notes.txt: Not a 
directory
install: 
///usr/src/cddl/contrib/dtracetoolkit/Docs/Notes/procsystime_notes.txt: 
Not a directory

Completing this upgrade requires removing old shared object files.
Please rebuild all installed 3rd party software (e.g., programs
installed from the ports tree) and then run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update 
install"
again to finish installing updates.
[root at xxxxx ~]# portmaster -af

Out of file descriptors
-------

Advice please?  ( i have serial access to box1 , box2 is still booted 
multiuser)

thanks
Paul.
