- Resolves an issue I saw where the macOS application's dylibs could not be loaded because I had too many maps.
- Due to not so great error logging, this problem was non-obvious. Ultimately I managed to spot the error 24, which is means too many open files.
- On macOS the default number of open files is 256 (without this change).
- The Windows implementation currently does nothing, but that's reasonable because the limit is quite large (10k I think).

- Simplified the implementation and made it more POSIX based and less macOS. - Handle the rare failure case on older macOS versions.
