This sounds exaclty like a problem we had running pre1.  The problem was
that socket filedescriptors were not being closed.  After tinc had run
long enough and enough connections had come and gone the maximum file
descriptor limit was reached and the bad filedescriptor messages started
appearing.

It was fixed in pre2, as I recall.
