Default [macOS] crash: "too many open files"

When I'm trying to open one of my projects where I made a lot of drum slip editing, I get the following crash dump:

Code:
Process:               REAPER [684]
Path:                  /Applications/REAPER64.app/Contents/MacOS/REAPER
Identifier:            com.cockos.reaper
Version:               5.98.400 (5.98.400)
Code Type:             X86-64 (Native)
Parent Process:        ??? [1]

Anonymous UUID:        4F3BF26A-F094-AE96-94C0-3B461281AA75


Time Awake Since Boot: 5200 seconds

System Integrity Protection: enabled

Crashed Thread:        0  reaper  Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Exception Type:        EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes:       0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Exception Note:        EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFY

Application Specific Information:
terminating with uncaught exception of type std::__1::system_error: random_device failed to open /dev/urandom: Too many open files
abort() called
Increasing the file limit works as a workaround:
Code:
sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 64000 524288
I don't know if there is something that can be done about that from the application, but maybe the error handling can be improved.
