Ah yes that makes more sense. You need to up RLIMIT_NOFILE, the
registered files are under that protection now too. This is also why it
was brought back to stable. A bit annoying, but it was needed for the
direct file support to have some sanity there.
So use rlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE,...) from the app or ulimit -n to bump the
limit.
