See if you can find out which process is eating all the file-handles
by using lsof:

[~] edwin@kludge>/usr/local/sbin/lsof  | awk '{ print $1 }' | uniq -c | sort -n
   1 COMMAND
   6 sleep
   7 sh
   7 sh
   8 sort
[...]
  53 xmms
  56 navigator
  60 ssh
 523 everybudd

Woops... (this is not my current system but the lsof output of
something a couple of days ago :-)

Then, seeing what's going wrong with that process (i.e. why is it
eating so many file-handles)

This could btw be a complete wrong approach since I have no idea
how many users you have or what your system is doing for normal
life.
