asterisk users - Aug 2014 - asterisk too many files or memory leak???

I am seeing this in my log file

:[Aug  7 21:35:24] ERROR[19582] acl.c: Cannot create socket
[Aug  7 21:35:24] WARNING[19582][C-00000283] res_rtp_asterisk.c: Unable to
allocate RTP socket: Too many open files
[Aug  7 21:35:24] NOTICE[19582][C-00000283] chan_sip.c: Failed to
authenticate device "677"<sip:677 at
IP>;tag=3637370132313231383238343335
[Aug  7 21:35:24] WARNING[19734] manager.c: Failed to create temporary file
for command: Too many open files

Just wondering... was surprised to see this.
There are 999 open sockets in my asterisk process. That is not normal.
I know I can increase that ulimit - but I only have about 50 phones on the
system.
just wondering if there is an issue.
I am running asterisk 11.11.0

Shot in the dark here but does "core show channels" show an inordinate
number of channels, especially channels that you know should be closed?
