Oh, but of course it does. So let's do
errdetail("There are too many open files on the local server."),
#ifndef WIN32
errhint("Raise the server's max_files_per_process and/or \"ulimit -n\"
limits.")
#else
errhint("Raise the server's max_files_per_process setting.")
#endif
I don't think there's much point in telling Windows users about
_setmaxstdio() here.
