At least for me, a 'sure' way to reproduce the error messages is
to start X with the usual limit of 64 or less, start 'xlogo's until
I get something like '... maximum number of clients reached'.
At this point the Xserver has (nofiles-1) open filedescriptors
according to fstat. Now I kill one xlogo and start acroread or
xfontsel (and select different ttf) and check with fstat if the
last fd is consumed (i.e., the font file is still open). Trying
to start another xlogo now produces the problem.
