Subject: "Too many open files - socket(2)" when invoking Socket.new

Given the follwing code snippet:

require 'socket'
include Socket::Constants
socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 1313, 'localhost' )
socket.bind( sockaddr )
socket.listen( 5 )
client, client_sockaddr = socket.accept
client.puts "Hello from script one!"
puts "The client said, '#{client.readline.chomp}'"
client.puts "Hello from script one!"
socket.close

On my WinXP development machine this script runs as expected. Running it
on a WinXpEmbedded machine throws a
  Too many open files - socket(2) (Errno::EMFILE)
exception on the line
  socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
What could cause this exception?

Any advice help appreciated
Clemens
