As described in libuv/libuv#899, libuv v0.10.x does not translate/propagate ENFILE errors, so node reports it as an UNKNOWN error code. Note that EMFILE occurs far more commonly, and this likely affects more tests (trying to trigger EMFILE/ENFILE to test errr handling) than actual applications.
I don't expect this issue to be fixed. This is mainly for people to find in search results.
