I've started on a solution to this:

https://github.com/hintjens/libzmq/commit/32fa426e61b92bdd0929990cebc799839cc335a7

(Pull request waiting to be merged).

It's a system check that runs at the start of the self-tests, and
asserts that we can open at least 1,000 sockets, or prints a helpful
message. We could expand this to other known trouble areas.
