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.

There doesn't appear to be a "Compiler Options" in the make menuconfig
menu. Selecting "Compiler Flags" results in these options:

1.  DONT_OPTIMIZE
2.  DEBUG_CHANNEL_LOCKS
3.  DEBUG_THREADS
4.  LOW_MEMORY
5.  MALLOC_DEBUG
6.  RADIO_RELAX
7.  STATIC_BUILD
8.  IAX_OLD_FIND
9.  LOADABLE_MODULES

Perhaps I need to use a manual compiler flag?
