pseudo: Handle too many files deadlock
If we have large amounts of parallelism, pseudo can end up with too many open connections and will no longer accept further connections, hanging. This patch works around that by closing some clients, allowing turnover of connections and unblocking the system. The downside is a small but theoretical window of data loss. This is likely better than locking up entirely though. Discussions with Peter are onging about how we could better fix this.

1Currently if we max out the maximum number of files, pseudo can deadlock, unable to
2accept new connections yet unable to move forward and unblock the other processes
3waiting either.

5Rather than hang, when this happens, close out inactive connections, allowing us
6to accept the new ones. The disconnected clients will simply reconnect. There is
7a small risk of data loss here sadly but its better than hanging.
