I see your frustration, but the source of problem so varies among
OSes, and it's hard to provide one easy answer.  We're now preparing
next versions of patches, which hopefully mitigate the problem.  I'd
also like to note again that feedback so far shows beta versions are
much better wrt this point.  We've originally intended P1s are a
band-aid and are not suitable for large-scale servers that would
encounter this type of issues anyway (even if the 'too many open file'
error is gone).

I've not understood this point, btw:
