Actually, only 18 (0..17).  The `mem' stuff is mmap-ed and
doesn't count against `ulimit -n` (RLIMIT_NOFILE).

Definitely not; the lei-daemon is per-user.

I also forgot, inotify has its own per-user limits; perhaps
you're hitting those?

# show system-wide limits
$ head /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_*

# show per-user inotify FDs (-nP speeds up lsof by avoiding lookups)
$ lsof -nP -u $USER |grep inotify
