I am not aware of any changes to bootlogd done the last couple of
years, and have a hard time understanding how it can be the source of
your problem.  I've grepped in the source for both 8192 and file-max,
without finding any place where the value is changed.  Can you provide
an strace of the bootlogd run that change file-max, to help me locate
the source of the problem?

Happy hacking,
