This is a common error message that is logged on cyrus start/restart,
which is normally followed by a message like "retrying with 8192

Cyrus need to handle many open files/connections, so cyrus tries to unlimit
the number of file descriptors on start, which is not allowed on all systems
(depending on OS and/or configuration)
