[Unbound-users] TCP random timeouts

Yes it was an ulimit complaint about not having enough "open files". So 
I finally decided to change the limits.conf to nofile=4096 to root and 
unbound. Then the warning disappeared. It appeared because I increased 
num-tcp from 10 to 50 and obviously I used more than 1024 - before it 
was 950 + 10 + 10 so it was ok. But I thought that with libevent I 
didn't have to change ulimit. Something seems wrong.

It's confusing and hard to know in which mode we are, maybe it would be 
nice to print it when unbound starts (actually it somehow already says 
that with unbound -h).

To summarize, it looks like I have libevent support but it does not use 
it :)
