EMFILE: too many open files when not using --no-cache

[straub]

If the number of files in this.inputFileSet.files is large enough, readCache() reaches the user's limit and rejects with an error. The error is swallowed in getOutput(), which manifests in a very strange message: Error: Cannot find module 'collect-all', even though that package is installed. (This seems to be the next time something tries to access the filesystem.)

Is there any interest in exploring graceful-fs here or in another module to solve caching for very large numbers of files? Or any other suggested solutions? For now, my workaround is to use --no-cache, which works, but costs more time.

I'd be happy to throw a PR together, either way.

Hi, sorry for the delay.. which OS are you on? How many input files roughly causes the exception to be thrown? Obviously the error message Cannot find module 'collect-all' is highly misleading..
