Thanks Marek. I'll retry my tests with a 1.8 broker and verify that it doesn't crash when its number of connections approaches its FD limit.<div><br></div><div>For a use case like mine (where the broker is listening for connections on a public IP) I don't have the luxury of guaranteeing an upper bound on the number of open sockets; but if the broker stops accepting connections once it reaches its threshold, that should be sufficient to stop any new FDs from being allocated.<br>

</div>Good news, apparently the "magical tweaks" were merged to the main<br>
branch some time ago. From what I see, they are included in 1.8.0.<br>
<br>
Quick experiments show that rabbit always leaves about 80 file descriptors<br>
for internal use.<br>
