EMFILE, too many open files

[hackingbeauty]

After starting the program with the command "webgl-workshop", and clicking on the first exercise "HELLO, WEBGL" , I'm getting the following stack trace:

fs.js:438
return binding.open(pathModule._makeLong(path), stringToFlags(flags), mode);
^

Am I doing something wrong?
