In your bug report, If you can quantify how often this fails in terms
of real numbers, that will be _very_ helpful. Is the system under
heavy load when it fails? Or do the failures correlate with other
activity?
It may be that some system resource is being exhausted somehow.
Perhaps the number of open files has gone beyond a certain limit. In
searches for similar issues, I see things like:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-August/027799.html
where it appears there's a very low system limit on HP systems with
regards to number of open files at once. I can see scenarios where
maxfiles may be exhausted, so that low-level issues start to occur,
and in that scenario, I wouldn't be surprised to see errors like the
ones you're seeing.
