In a post in this thread Robert Cooper referred the problem of
running out of file descriptors when using TCP based communication.

I heard that in newer versions of UNIX the number of file descriptors
a proccess can use simultaneously is around a thousand but I don't
know in exactly what systems. Does someone have accurate information
on this?
