Re: more on Linux and filedescriptors

I think I've tracked down the bit in the Linux kernel which is biting
us - from the sys_setrlimit() function in kernel/sys.c:

        if (resource == RLIMIT_NOFILE) {
                if (new_rlim.rlim_cur > NR_OPEN || new_rlim.rlim_max > NR_OPEN)
                        return -EPERM;
        }

NR_OPEN is set by default to 1024 in <linux/fs.h>. Bummer!

I'm going to have a go at increasing this to see what happens, but
see <URL:http://www.tux.org/lkml/#s9-7>

Sayonara!
