Anybody got this "gpsd[748]: gpsd:ERROR: accept: fail: Too many open files in system" error before?

I have been encountering this error recently, and the log generated by this error has unexpectedly expanded my syslog and user.log to 10GB (almost filling up my SD card). Does anyone know how to solve this error?

and looks it create log super fast, this is my first time encountering this situation, is there anything I should check first?

I couldn't find any hints about an existing problem with gpsd that would cause that.

My best guess would be: something else in your system exhausts file-handles.

One way to narrow things down would be to disable all other services and software you are running on the Raspberry, and check if the problem still exists?
