The "too many open files" bug existed in the head revision for a day
or two -- I suspect that you are building with one of those revisions.
You can work past it by using tla-1.1pre5 to get the very latest.

The invariant violation would be a bug and one I'd like to nail.
There's a _small_ possibility that goes like this:

        *) there was such a bug -- but I caught and fixed it before
           pushing my mirror

        *) nevertheless, there are some revision levels in the archive
           where that bug exists

        *) perhaps you grabbed the sources _while_ i was pushing my
           mirror, so you got the bug, but not the fix

If that isn't it -- then it's a second bug with the same effect.  In
that case, I'd very much appreciate getting a reproducible instance of
it.
