It might look like that but the logs are not the actual problem as those 
files are properly closed after the test finishes.

I tried to disable logging to files all together but the problem persisted.

The real cause for the excessive number of file descriptors is django-q, 
which creates opens lots and lots of files (for inter process 
communication?).
