 What is the recommended way to handle EMFILE on accept?
 The chat server example returns from the handler without doing a new
 accept, which means the server won't accept any new connections after
 hitting EMFILE. This is undesirable. I've just been bitten by this myself.

 Would it be possible for Asio itself to handle this situation gracefully?
