Yeah macOS has a very low default limit, and apparently it affects more than just cargo test, e.g. ClickHouse, and there's even a quite good article about how to increase it permanently: https://clickhouse.com/docs/development/build-osx

I actually tried another method for doing this not too long ago (adding `kern.maxfiles` and `kern.maxfilesperproc` to `/etc/sysctl.conf` with higher limits than the default) and it made my system extremely unstable after rebooting. I'm not entirely sure why, though.
