Cannot reproduce here.  Could you pls. attach an update build log?

[Comment 10 Slava Barinov 2022-08-31 20:21:03 UTC]

Resolved the issue on my machine by increasing ulimits.
Adding

* 		 soft 	 nofile 	 65536
* 		 hard 	 nofile 	 65536

Into /etc/security/limits.conf resolves the issue.
Not sure about exact limit required, though
