OK, that's a fairly likely cause of EMFILE.

A tip for geoip users:

  Install the io-extra gem to get IO.pread.  This allows you to reuse
  the same file descriptor with geoip automatically between any number
  of threads/processes without reopening it.

The 3.3.x series generates less garbage than previous versions, so
it could be causing the GC to run less frequently and increase
the chance of the GC failing to collect descriptors.
