Ran 58 tests in 8.080s

FAILED (errors=2, skipped=12)

Looking at the OS X man page for setrlimit(2), it appears the test's strategy 
of trying to set the soft RLIMIT_NOFILE to the hard RLIMIT_NOFILE ceiling will 
fail on OS X (at least) if the hard limit is infinite:

>>> import resource
>>> resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)
(2560, 9223372036854775807)

>From the man page:
COMPATIBILITY
     setrlimit() now returns with errno set to EINVAL in places that 
historically
     succeeded.  It no longer accepts "rlim_cur = RLIM_INFINITY" for 
RLIM_NOFILE.
     Use "rlim_cur = min(OPEN_MAX, rlim_max)".
