Error "24" returned from INIT_CONTEXT under load

[Nicolas Williams]

Positive errors are system errors (see intro(2) and your system's
errno.h).

It's most likely this: you process ran out of file descriptors. I.e.,
error 24 is EMFILE.

On Solaris you can get EMFILE from fopen() even though you process is
not out of file descriptors when: you process is 32-bits and all file
descriptors < 256 are taken.

Cheers,

Nico
