Same problem was mentioned on June 21 for MacOSX.  Simple problem with a
simple solution.

Economy mode (-e) uses 377 temp files simultaneously.

Probably a shell limit if you've set the hard limits.  For csh look at
'unlimit' and for Bourne look at 'ulimit'

BASH under Linux:
$ ulimit -a | grep open
open files                    (-n) 1024

$ swish-e -e -i /usr/share/doc/swish-e/

OK that worked.  Let's break it:

$ ulimit -n 375

$ ulimit -a | grep open
open files                    (-n) 375

$ swish-e -e -i /usr/share/doc/swish-e/
Indexing Data Source: "File-System"

err: Couldn't open temporary file './swtmplocKVAym4': Too many open
files
