I added procps to this as an affected package, because I think the right place to fix this is there. This can happen with any program that will set up lots of inotify watches, not just Beagle, although it's the most likely culprit at this point.
I'd suggest setting it to at least 65536. A higher number of watches will take additional kernel memory, but only if those watches are used. So for the vast majority of users who fit under the 8192 default limit, increasing the value will have no adverse effects.
Bug #77106 is not caused by this, that is another bug that was fixed in Beagle 0.2.14, I believe.
