chmod +t the directory. (Are you sure man chmod doesn't refer to this?)
From http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/svscan.html:
"If a subdirectory sub is sticky, svscan starts a pair of supervise processes,
one for sub, one for sub/log, with a pipe between them. svscan needs two free
descriptors for each pipe."
