Using ZipArchive with thousands of files

Hi.

I'm using Squeak 3.5 with a clean image on a Linux workstation. I am
trying to use ZipArchive to zip a directory containing >1200 text files.
The problem is that if I do something like

dir fileNames do: [:name | archive addFile: name]

the system runs out of file descriptors, and can't continue adding
files.
Is there a way to avoid this within Squeak?

	Thanks

		Giovanni
