Dear administrator.

Hello, this error occurred when I was using juicer to process HIC data. How should I solve this problem?
The error is:
[bam_sort_core] merging from 1530 files and 170 in-memory blocks...
[E::hts_open_format] Failed to open file "./samtools.214728.6262.tmp.1019.bam" : Too many open files

Good luck, looking forward to your reply
