I'd be in favor of bringing this to v1.3. Are there other
dependencies / would it be difficult?

Comment:
This was due to a very tight loop on comm_spawn not giving enough
time for
the prior proc to completely terminate (and thus free its file
descriptors) before the next proc was launched. Eventually, we
built up a
backlog of terminations to process and ran out of fd's.
We introduced a check-and-delay in the code that detects we don't
have
enough fd's to launch another proc, and then waits a second to see if
enough become free before aborting.
Fixed in trunk - can see if we want to bring it to 1.3.
