Yes, I have hit the limit, with the expected "Error creating network socket: No buffer space available" messages seen.

Afaik this is a different error, and it comes from the RAM limit for network buffers, not due to hitting the maximum quantity of open sockets.

ConstrainedSockets/ConstrainedSockSize may actually help you here.

Also next time you hit this error, check "lsof -n | grep tor | wc -l". My guess is it will be much lower than 4096.
