If they both crash, without any libev/libevent, but using the builtin.

The builtin select has a 1024 filedescriptor limit, which is Norbert's
problem ; he wants more. And the available choices for that are:

o compile without pthreads, no shared memory, but the forked processes
each have 1024 file descriptors. (set num-threads: 4 as usual, but
instead of threads unbound will fork processes).
o compile with libevent. Choice of backends (system-specific or poll).
o compile with libev. Also multiple backends.

Best regards,
