Probably a `ulimit` setting, eg.,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/181215/too-many-open-files-how-to-find-the-culprit.

Try `ulimit -a` to see what current limits are, and then something
like `ulimit -n 5000` (or a number bigger than the current limit
anyway) to get around this.

ISTR this was an issue recently with alcotest specifically -- @samoht,
was there a proper fix intended for this at some point? (Or is it
really just a very low default ulimit setting on Ubuntu?)
