I came to the conclusion it was an OS issue and managed to increase the file descriptors available by using the systune command and setting the RLIMIT_NOFILE_CUR to 1024. Since then, both the hard and soft limits are set to 1024 rather than 200. But the problem still occurs at exactly the same point. > In this case, IRIX 6.2 doesn't support FILE structures > with descriptors above 255 unless on a 64 bit machine or > compiling with the n32 ABI.

This is an OS-specific issue. We are running it on a Challenge DM but, as I didn't do the compile, Im not sure whether the -n32 option was specified. I will try a recompile with the -n32.
