RE: More file descriptors are needed

I'm sorry.
I forgot to present my situation.
My system is running on kernel 2.0.35 coming with RedHat5.1.
To be more specific, my process is multi-threaded.
and each thread need to have as many as 3K FDs.
so, I am going to patch LinuxThreads 0.71 for threads not to share their FDs.
I think It's possible by removing CLONE_FILES from clone's flag argument.
I expect that the maximum number of threads having 3K FDs is up to 16.
Is it possible? How can I do it?

What kernel version?

For 2.1.x you presently can't do this. It should work with Bill Hawes
patches, and I think it did for a bit - but last time I tried to get
20K FDs the damned thing went ugly upon init.
