And what platform are you running on?  Are you perhaps running on an
SELinux platform, where root isn't really root?  Or are you running on
something that isn't Linux and never bothered to allow a single process
to readily handle more than 1024 file descriptors at once?  I need an answer
if we're going to ever solve this issue, not just whining about how it
doesn't work.
