[Unbound-users] TCP random timeouts

How did you know/notice that libevent wasn't working ? Because I thought 
I was using it...

Indeed when I increased num-tcp unbound complained about the 1024 files 
limit so obviously libevent is not used... But based on unbound -h and 
ldd output it looks like it is linked with libevent.

Did I miss the documentation part "how to enable libevent in 
unbound.conf ?" Should I use more than one thread or is it a bug with 
old EL5 libraries ?
