/usr/include/linux/limit.h
        NR_OPEN
        OPEN_MAX
/usr/include/linux/fs.h
        INR_OPEN
/usr/include/bin/types.h
        __FD_SETSIZE
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
        __FD_SETSIZE

As far as I can tell, the above values set the file descriptor
limits. (At least for REDHAT 6.0 + 6.1).

If you change the above then recompile, you should be fine.
