Bad File Descriptor on nix-build of Plutus-Apps on Mac M1

Question

I am seeing an error building Plutus-Apps on Mac M1.

After precisely following

https://github.com/renzwo/cardano-plutus-apps-install-m1/blob/main/README.md

UPDATE: This did resolve. These errors appears to be due to corrupted cache in nix store from download on in the cache itself.

as recommended here:

I get an Invalid File Descriptor error. Here are the logs

I tried increasing file limits ..

launchctl limit maxfiles
maxfiles    200000         200000   

But still get the error.
