That's a good point.  Any suggestions on how to do it?  An additional RLIMIT?

Or should I do it like I did with keyrings and separately manage a quota for

I'd count them per user, and maybe start out saying "you can have as
many watches as you can have files" and just re-use RLIMIT_NOFILE as
the limit for them.

And if that causes problems, let's re-visit. How does that sound?
