If a system is overloaded with connections, after reaching the maximum open file allowance, the listener socket fails, closing the session sink. Since the overlay has no logic to handle runtime-failed listeners, it currently panics.
Although this should never occur during normal operation, a DOS attack might take advantage of this. Eventually when Iris reaches high enough stability this should be addresses.
