Yes, I agree. The user gave me a minimal description of the problem, so
thought he was seeing the error as soon as he called salloc. After
pressing him for more information, it turns out he had been working in
the salloc session for several hours before the problem occured, so I
think this just a simple ulimit issue.
Sorry for the noise.

That sounds like a linux issue. You probably need to reset the max
limit for file descriptors someplace.

Has anyone seen this error message before? A user just reported it. A
Google search doesn't turn up anything useful. I mean, I understand
what too many open files means, but I'm surprised to see it in the
context of salloc.
salloc: error: Error on msg accept socket: Too many open files
