Problem Statement/Rationale

Connecting to replicaset using MongoDB Compass causes the primary to crash.

Please be sure to attach relevant logs with any sensitive data redacted.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a replicaset of 3 nodes, mongo version 5.0.9 community.

Connect to the replicaset using MongoDB compass version 1.32.5, using direct connect.

Expected Results

MongoDB Compass should connect successfully and display the collections. The replicaset primary should handle the connection and queries from MongoDB Compass without any significant load.

Actual Results

The amount of file descriptors (possible due to connections and queries) spikes in order of tens of thousands. This leads to too many files open and eventually a primary crash. Meanwhile this is happening, MongoDB Compass hangs and shows a blank screen.

Additional Notes

The database that causes MongoDB Compass to hang and the primary to crash weight about 4 terrabytes. We are using the direct connect option because we're opening an SSH tunnel from our local machines to the primary using a jumper server.
