Interesting.  "Closed" with "Worksforme" because an application
accumulated file descriptors erroneously.

The problem is that we actually _have_ this amount of outstanding
images not yet shipped out.  No programming error.

Putting the single line

_setmaxstdio(2048);

into web2c startup does not seem like it would be an overly onerous
complication, would it?
