BitShares 0.4.27.2 - problems while starting the client

[vikram]

We have been seeing intermittent reports of this "database is not open" error for a long time and are not sure of all the causes. One possible cause is that the process is opening too many file handles than your Linux user allows.

Do you still get this error with a fresh data directory?

Hey,

Today, I have deleted my old Bitshares client and compiled the new version 0.4.27.2 with my ubuntu 14.04 machine. Unfortunately, now the client crashes each time I am trying to start it. The console gives me the following error messasge

~/bitshares/programs/qt_wallet/bin$ ./BitShares

 It would be great if someone could explain me what exactly is happening and how I can resolve this problem.

Thank you
