Gatk Depthofcoverage Sortbyref.Pl Error

Hi I am trying to run the DepthofCoverage walker from GATK for the first time and I am running into stumbling blocks. I am interested in getting coverage info for genes and I downloaded the Refseq genes list and am filtering and sorting according to specifications. I am using the SortByRef.pl script provided in the website. However, I am getting an error saying: Can not open temporary file 1045: Too many open files at SortByRef.pl line 68, <$INPUT> line 1021.

I am stuck at this point and don't know how to proceed.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
