Seems it is the kernel refusing to accept() any more connections, the
reason being that it takes 2 descriptors for each of your listeners:-

$ strace -e trace=socket,accept,connect ./sock.tcl 

Creating listener on 3000
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 5
Connecting to listener on 127.0.0.1:3000
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 6
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3000),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16)
= -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)
Creating listener on 3001
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 7
Connecting to listener on 127.0.0.1:3001
socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 8
connect(8, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(3001),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16)
= -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

...

So when you come to connect you only get:
ulimit(1024) - 2*500 - initialFD(5) = 19 
for new connections:-

server: 3484 accepted
client: 3483<-marco
accept(971, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(44952),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [8589934608]) = 1021
server: 3483 accepted
client: 3482<-marco
accept(969, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(56034),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [8589934608]) = 1022
server: 3482 accepted
client: 3481<-marco
accept(967, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(38003),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, [8589934608]) = 1023
server: 3481 accepted
client: 3480<-marco
accept(965, 0x7fffffa7d020, [8589934608]) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open
files)
client: 3479<-marco
accept(963, 0x7fffffa7d020, [8589934608]) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open
files)
client: 3478<-marco
accept(961, 0x7fffffa7d020, [8589934608]) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open
files)
client: 3477<-marco
accept(959, 0x7fffffa7d020, [8589934608]) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open
files)
client: 3476<-marco
...

If run as root with and raise the limit to 10k then you see 1500 file
descriptors once the test is fully connected.

Perhaps the most confusing thing is that the second FD for each listener
doesn't appear in /proc/<pid>/fd until something connects. Notice how
you only see odd numbered FD's for the unconnected listeners below.

$ ls -l /proc/29381/fd | sort -n -k 9 
 0 -> /dev/pts/0
 1 -> /home/jburgess/socket/out
 2 -> /home/jburgess/socket/out
 3 -> pipe:[8919517]
 4 -> pipe:[8919517]
 5 -> socket:[8919518]
 7 -> socket:[8919520]
 9 -> socket:[8919522]
 11 -> socket:[8919524]
 13 -> socket:[8919526]
