Here's an updated diff.

I made a couple of tweaks:
 - Added the required REVISION bump.
 - You had `:openfiles-cur=4096:\` twice. I assume you meant openfiles-max for
   the second occurance?


CC kn@. OK?

 Note that in addition to ulimits, there is a kernel-level file descriptor limit

 Another option is to turn off the file watcher and use only periodic scans.
 This will result in much reduced file descriptor usage at the cost of a
