A couple troubleshooting questions come to mind:

Is it consistently failing after 10K requests?

Once it fails, is 2!:0 effectively broke for the j process and it must
be restarted? Or does 2!:0 work for other commands?

I'm somewhat baffled by what 2!:0 is actually doing. It seems to be
redirecting the system command to a temporary file and reading from
the file.  I can't figure out by looking at it how the tmpnam gets
added to the system command.  I'm used to seeing popen

https://github.com/openj/core/blob/18fd23bbdc2f50770eb3047e978cd5e4e3b47039/xh.c#L39

I'm also suspect of the magic number 5 in that code.

Sorry, not much help
