I just tried it on 2.1.70, when run as root, it eventually spits out the
log message:
Dec  3 16:51:35 jackalz kernel: VFS: file-max limit 1024 reached
And running programs that use filehandles after that fail like this:
bash: /bin/ls: Too many open files in system
If run as a user, then no message reaches the logs, and root can still
use filehandles (there seems to be a reserved amount), but user processes
fail. Anyhow, no panic of any kind, so I guess 2.1.x doesn't have that
problem.
