I don't think of it as a non-fix workaround. the test is supposed to
be testing merge-on-getreader right? It isn't supposed to be testing
throttling of excessive filehandles, although it is nice that it
"discovered" an issue there.

IMO, ideally we would add a separate test for that that explicitly
tries to max out the file handles and ensures IW does the right thing.
