Assistance pls - pipe error: Too many open files in system

When I run a bash script in the customer system, it throws the warning and script exits

Exec '/root/sample.sh' @ hostname-- OK
(warn) /root/sample.sh: pipe error: Too many open files in system
/root/sample.sh: n + : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")

Exec '/root/sample.sh' @ hostname -- OK
(warn) /root/sample.sh: fork: Cannot allocate memory
/root/sample.sh: n + : syntax error: operand expected (error token is " ")

In the script - variable n is used in this below statement.Where as variable n is not initialised to zero.

Code:
 n=$(( n + $(find $j -type f | wc -l) ))

whether the variables need to be explicity initialized to zero beforing using them.

does this cause below warnings Too many open files in system / cannot allocate memory Smilie

Please anyone clarify me
