I think the problem might lie in the fact that you have probably not recompiled
open.  Even when you do a call to fopen it eventually gets
to open.  I think open keeps track of how many files are open.  My guess you
will have to talk to the people at microsoft before proceeding, since you will
probably have to recompile open and possibly fopen.  And if you are like me
you do not have the source to those.
