--- Comment #3 from Karl Young <free...@kipshouse.org> ---
We've run into this on 9.2. We're using OpenSource software that uses popen()
to run external commands. Since popen() returns FILE*, it fails when we get to
32K open files. This seems to be rarely hit (no comments since 2011), but it
can be a show-stopper.
The only workaround I see in our case is to roll our own popen().
BTW in comment 1:

I think this fails when FD gets to 64K and the short version starts counting up
from 0 again.
