This was reported 2 years ago.  From searching on the web, it seems to
be related to ulimit, and some people have even reported that things
worked better for them after a Linux kernel upgrade.

The above suggests that it's unlikely that this crash happened due to
a bug in Emacs.

I'm therefore closing this bug.  If anyone believes that this is
incorrect, feel free to reopen it.

Best regards,
