By file descriptors, do you mean the number of sockets trying to
connect with libixp?

If so, I think the problem is the amount and rate of traffic, rather
than the number of sockets requesting connections. The reason is: I
can also reproduce the bug by pumping lots of traffic through a
single socket (one ruby-ixp connection).

What do you think?
