Comment 4 for bug 673366

This is not a security issue, agreed.

The issue is that the default limit of the system are set to 1024. This should not be changed. Instead, it should be reduced to take in account for the extra file descriptors that are needed for stdin, stdout, stderr, and log files. For this reason, I feel that 768 is reasonable.

I have committed this change upstream. From now on, the error will instead be:
  2010/11/30 12:00:44 [alert] 17831#0: 768 worker_connections are not enough

This will mean that remaining errors will be due to limits set by Nginx and not by the system. Therefor, it will be up the the administrator of that system to deal with the remainder of the configuration.
