 Thanks for the feedback, this is actually a fam limitation.

 The upstream fam web site documents a limitation of the current
 implementation which uses select().  Upstream says select() is limited
 to 1024 fds.

 I've requested a workaround at:

 Perhaps this limit can be increased under Linux.

 You might want to use gamin instead which supports inotify and might
 work better in such scenarii.

   Cheers,
