Comment:

 This looks like it's been fixed some time ago.

 Currently the startup will for 0.2.3.22rc sets ulimit depending on
 /proc/sys/fs/file-max. Value of 8192 or higher is used if /proc/sys/fs
 /file-max is at least 10000:

 {{{
 # Raise ulimit based on number of file descriptors available (thanks,
 Debian)

 if [ -r /proc/sys/fs/file-max ]; then
         system_max=`cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max`
         if [ "$system_max" -gt "80000" ] ; then
                 MAX_FILEDESCRIPTORS=32768
         elif [ "$system_max" -gt "40000" ] ; then
                 MAX_FILEDESCRIPTORS=16384
         elif [ "$system_max" -gt "10000" ] ; then
                 MAX_FILEDESCRIPTORS=8192
         else
                 MAX_FILEDESCRIPTORS=1024
                 cat << EOF
 }}}

 This seems to be good enough, but I have no fast relay I could test it on.
