The other thing to keep in mind is while it reports as a number of clients limit,
it's actually, due to the current implementation, a limit on the id of the file
descriptors, so you can hit it with only one other client open if somehow the X
server also has all file descriptors up to 255 in use for something else (perhaps
shared memory segments, a fd leak in one of the system libraries, like the name
resolver, etc.)

I think the cygwin guys recently solved this for their code by changing the client
id from being just the fd to using a hash table to map it to the fd.
