This might be worth a Jira, at least to start feeding in tracking
information. On Linux, I'd expect this to at least generate a
strerror() message for ENFILE or EMFILE ('Too many open files in system'
and 'Too many open files') with similar messages on Mac. Full 'lsof'
output before or after a problem might be interesting, too. Something
in Ponzu's Problem has me looking in the direction of plugins as well.
But a rigorous test with HTTP Textures enabled and disabled would also
be useful...
