3.43) How can I increase the number of file descriptors per process?

    In 2.3 in earlier this requires poking the kernel.
    In Solaris 2.4+, this can be accomplished by adding the
    following lines to /etc/system:

        * set hard limit on file descriptors
        set rlim_fd_max = 4096
        * set soft limit on file descriptors
        set rlim_fd_cur = 1024

    Raising the soft limit past 256 may confuse certain applications,
    especially BCP applications. Raising the limit past 1024 may
    confuse applications that use select().

I've successfully upped the descripter limit in 2.5 using
the /etc/system directives though only to 1024.
