Hi,

The message above suggests that EAI_SYSTEM is now (2.17+) returned when
running out of file descriptors.

That should definitely not be the case when running the test suite, or
that would indicate a real problem in Guile.

Do you have a particular setup to reproduce the EAI_SYSTEM return?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
