Yesterday I asked for the posssible reasons of

> Fail: resource exhausted
> Action: openFile
> Reason: process file table full connect-985988146.log

Writing that particular file wasn't the cause, but just a symptom.

It seems that I forgot to close filehandles obtained from Socket.accept.
I somehow thought they were garbage collecteted, but apparently the weren't.
