Summary: Built-in open function fail. Too many file open

Initial Comment:
Hi,

I have created a cron script using python.
Every hour it will batch process certain files

e.g.

t=open(filename,'rb')
data=t.read()
#processing data...
t.close()

The script is working fine on the day of execution.
It is able to process the files.  However, when the next day comes, the processing fail!!

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./alexCopy.py", line 459, in processRequestModule
    sanityTestSteps(reqId,model)
  File "./alexCopy.py", line 699, in sanityTestSteps
    t = open(filename, 'rb')
IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files:

I have explicitly closed the file.
Please help.

Thanks,
Alex
