[2016-03-09 19:28:26] [error] The file could not be opened. Check permissions.

This should be optimized. @ari-gold can't be the only one getting the error. I can reproduce it if I use ulimit -n 233 (my usual limit is 1597).

Current workaround: ulimit -n $((2 * $(ulimit -n)))
If you get an error like
bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted
Then use ulimit -n, then where 2*ulimit -n = x, ulimit -n x. Repeat until it works.

I downgraded to 0.10.5 for now.

curl https://github.com/pantheon-systems/terminus/releases/download/0.10.5/terminus.phar -L -o /usr/local/bin/terminus && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/terminus

@ari-gold is not the only one.

I am getting the same issue on 0.10.6 with site deploy commands (maybe others, but that's the one i've tested).

no idea what my ulimit is.
downgrading to .5 fixed it for me.

I am getting this on stable 0.11.2 (bottled), work around above by OP works for me, still annoying.
