I've done a code inspection and the streams are all explicitly closed.
There are a number of File objects used and I notice that File does
not have a close() method so we have to rely on GC.

I know.  It would be difficult to produce an example since I cannot
reproduce the problem myself - it happens in production only and I
don't have any access there.

I get the exception:
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/path/to/script":
java.io.IOException: error=24, Too many open files

The script is called via ProcessBuilder object and I don't see any
obvious problems there.
