>  of the `UnixOperatingSystemMXBean` into hotspot. Apple's API for retrieving 
> open file descriptor count provides an array of the actual FDs to determine 
> the count. To avoid using `malloc` to store this array in a potential signal 
> handling context where stack space may be limited, the apple implementation 
> instead allocates a fixed 32KB struct on the stack to store the open FDs and 
> only reports the result if the struct is less than the max (1024 FDs). This 
> should cover the majoirty of use cases.
