Too many open files when running dotnet test (xunit)

See original GitHub issue

Original issue here: https://github.com/xunit/xunit/issues/874

I was able to work around this by setting ulimit -n 512 in my shell before running – but that really should not be required.

Steps to reproduce

Run the attached tests tests.zip

Expected behavior

The tests run and succeed

Actual behavior

Too many open files exception is thrown and dotnet test crashes.

Closing for lack of activity and new information. The test tooling has changed drastically since then. If this is still an issue, please file a new bug with repro steps for us to investigate it further.
