+- echolot will keep open all ping and metadata files. This means it needs quite
+ a few file descriptors (about 2 * total keys or 6 to 8 * remailers + some for
+ perl). If you have a very strict ulimit for open files you need to increase it.
+ Something like 512 should be plenty.
+ If you get obscure errors this might probably be it.
