  1. Run as: LIBEV_FLAGS=8 ~/bin/tcpkali -c 1100 -T 60 127.0.0.1:3000
  2. The patch is coming.

Fixed, as part of 0a5d9a5, will make into the next release.

Meanwhile, use the above LIBEV_FLAGS=8 hack on your existing tcpkali build, and be sure to increase the number of available file descriptors through ulimit -n.
