However, one thing puzzles me.  I just tried to reproduce it by
doing this:

	$ rm -fr git-http
        $ ulimit -n 16
        $ git clone http://www.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git-http

and it did not fail on my Linux box...

I've never seen it on Linux...

Aha!  I do indeed see it on linux with ulimit -n 64 but *only* when I
do the clone with cg-clone.  When I use 'git clone' it works just fine.

So, what does cogito do differently that accounts for more open files?
