Exception determining maxBSONObjectSize/connection refused because too many open connections using Mule Mongo Connector

Question

I'm using the Mule Mongo Connector to make some operations in a Mongo DB. I have been using it for a while without having this issue, but now I have this exception after running for a while my flow in Mule:

I have been having a look at the ./mongod shell and I ALWAYS have this error when I'm having more than 200 connections opened:

Sat Aug 31 23:33:13.417 [initandlisten] connection refused because too many open connections: 204
Sat Aug 31 23:33:13.420 [initandlisten] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:52761 #868 (205 connections now open)

I have no idea what is going on. If any other information is needed, I can add it without any problem.

Thank you very much.

There was a connection leaking issue affecting the mongo connector. It has recently being addressed and it will be part of the next release.
