Just a stab in the dark, but is it possible that your /tmp is mounted
with the ``noexec'' option?

A cursory glance at the Linux 2.2 source code doesn't show any way to
override the kernel limit of 1024 file descriptors (for select(); poll()
doesn't have this limitation, but qmail doesn't use poll() yet). See
<linux/posix_types.h>.
If I remember correctly, even if you hack the kernel source to allow
an fd_set greater than 1024 bits, you still have to change the libc
header <bits/types.h> (and possibly others).
