Compose failures with too many files

[Bojan Smojver]

These happen pretty regularly. Any chance these can be addressed systematically by bumping up the appropriate limits?

As far as I know, it's not caused by too low limits for open files,
but rather a file descriptor leak somewhere. So bumping the limits
will not fix the issue, it will just make it happen slightly less
frequently.

Yeah, I looked at it last night and it was using 20k or so files, but
the limit is much larger than that, so it's something else going on.
