Can't install LaTeX with doc: too may open files

[tobiasBora]

Describe the bug

If I try to install LaTeX on NixOs (unstable 1ffba9f2f68) with documentation:

    (texlive.combine {
      inherit (texlive) scheme-full;
      pkgFilter = pkg: lib.elem pkg.tlType [ "run" "bin" "doc" ];
    })

I get an error when running nixos-switch:

copying path '/nix/store/ac8g2qfm88gychisrkjiqn0v53nvisxa-texlive.tlpdb.xz' from 'https://cache.nixos.org'...
error: opening directory '/nix/store/y2p34715pgw4f0ydd5glkjp85fqim5fl-dirtytalk.doc.r20520.tar.xz': Too many open files

Possibly related to the (closed) issues:

• "Bad file descriptor" and "Too many open files" #101459
• File descriptor leak in Nix master nix#4046

Note that if I use

  security.pam.loginLimits = [{
    domain = "*";
    type = "soft";
    item = "nofile";
    value = "262144";
  }];

then it goes further (a smaller number may also work, but note that I need to switch to this parameters before installing texlive with documentation). It would be cool if large enough parameters were provided by default.
