We get this too.  I really think we should remove the setrlimit from Cyrus,
since that call doesn't work.  Really, 1024 should be heaps - we have
removed everything which needs multiple FDs of the same filetype now.

This isn't a problem.

Oh, this one is new as well - but it's not a problem.  We're trying to
tune the TCP stack.  I'm pretty sure we test for the symbol, but maybe
not for the permission.

Neither of them are a problem - but we should clean them up so they
don't make so much noise.
