1021+stdin+stdout+stderr = 1024, which is the default "descriptors"
limit.

If you're root, you can raise it to up to 1048576 (1024*1024).  Not
sure why it stops there, but I suspect that it's quite enough for the
time being (1024 is a tad small to my taste for a default, but that's
another problem entirely).
