 Replying to [comment:2 jreed]:

 > > This is the desired behaviour I believe. This is how the thing reacts
 to not being able to close previous sockets/give them up to boss. If we
 ignored the error, the system would end up in an inconsistent state, so we
 terminate here. The problem with msgq is a separate issue. OK to close as
 invalid?

 BIND 10 which used up all disk space. In that case it is not desired :)

 Terminating the process is probably okay.  Using abort() is too harsh
 though.  I'd suggesting throwing something like auth::FatalError,
 which is not expected to be caught in the middle of the process and
 should be only used for emergency (but as graceful as possible)
 termination.
