  Advised customer to induce webseald core (kill -6) once as soon
  as fopen errors start occurring while under load, and then again
  after restarting webseald and letting it run under load until it
  hangs.

Problem summary

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

•  The Solaris operating system has a limit to the number
   of file descriptor numbers that the fopen() system call may use
   and it can only use 8-bit unsigned integers.  A testfix has bee
  n provided by Sun support which may be rolled into future versio
  ns of their operating system.
