See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond#Too_many_open_files :

*Too many open files*

With bigger projects ... you might run into "too many open files" errors, at least in Linux, OSX and other Unix-like OSes. 
Ask your shell about the open files maximum and set it higher:

 $ ulimit -n
 256
 ulimit -S -n 2048
