Summary:                    Error rate for 'asterisk.c: Accept returned -1: Too
many open files' is not throttled.
Description: 
When Asterisk 1.4.23.1 runs out of available filehandles, the log file
grows out of control and fills the disk in a very short period of time.
When this error occurs, approximately 700-800 lines of logging are produced
each second. This jams the system and essentially crashes Asterisk. Unless
Asterisk crashes first as a result of this error message that is, but the
two events happen so closely together that it's impossible to tell.

The proper response to this is not to throttle the error message, but to
figure out where the file descriptors are leaking.  Please 'make
menuselect', select compiler options and enable DEBUG_FD_LEAKS.  After 24
hours of running with DEBUG_FD_LEAKS, please run the CLI command "core show
fd" and upload the output into the file upload area of this issue.
