On second thought, this might not be the cause of our problems.  I
thought killing the Quixote process (our ZEO-backed FastCGI script)
"fixed" the problem.  That's directly contrary to FD starvation being
the culprit, since this "fix" will just make the ZEO server consume two
more FDs.  And I also don't see us making 2048 connections to our ZEO
server every couple of days.  It just doesn't add up.

Should definitely keep on eye on our live ZEO server with lsof, though.
