Isn't the real problem here that:
- the program does not handle a resource limit very well (spewing lines
saying they hit a limit rather then informing the user with one dialog
what to increase)
- that the program cannot work correctly with a default system limit
that is sane for most other workloads.
- that watching a file for changes is a feature that should have a
manual option (aka a refresh button) or should at the very least be able
to work within limits given to the program.
