ember-cli: Error: watch EMFILE - 0.0.33

I’ve started getting the following error on upgrade from 0.0.28 to 0.0.33.

$ ember server

Livereload server on port 35729
Serving on http://0.0.0.0:4200

    throw errnoException(process._errno, 'watch');

I’m not sure if this is related to https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/issues/513, but I don’t think it has anything to do with https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli/issues/901 as I haven’t installed anything by the name of ace-builds.

@brandonparsons - Generally, EMFILE means too many files (see article). It is possible that we are keeping more file handles around with the new broccoli-sane-watcher than we previously did.

How many files are in your project? (preferably broken down by app/, tests/, vendor/, and other)
