I'm not sure I'd even call that a bug, so long as it crashes "cleanly"
(provides a relevant traceback and a non-zero exit code).  Running out
of file descriptors is a pretty extreme condition and possible that
even just in the course of trying to do something like write to a log
file or a dup a file descriptor for some reason (there is all kinds of
I/O magic that goes into making a complex REPL like IPython work, for
example) you could then bring down the interpreter.

At most I'd say maybe the Expect interfaces could handle this type of
error better.
