While using the Gevent WebSocket client an os error, OSError: [Errno 24] Too many open files, occurs

I have a service which forwards messages from a local zeromq based network of services to a remote websocket server via the ws4py gevent websocket class.
It seems to be caused by the call to os.urandom in ws4py/messaging.py and the fact that the default rlimit on macosx is 256.

On high load, the os.urandom fails which brings me to my next question. Is websockets or ws4py gevent client bad for streaming continuous data or should os.random be replaced with something that works under high load. I assumed that gevent would make accesses to /dev/urandom concurrent.

It seems to be an issue from the client i wrote in c++. When i make a client in python it works

Sorry, my c++ client was creating a new connection per second thats why it failed.

I'm always happy not having to do anything :)
