There is always a hard limit of filedescriptors (based on the kernel configuration). But usually you can change the number of descriptors using "limit descriptors xxxx" under tcsh/csh. Under Bash I think you must call "ulimit".

I am running into a problem where Zope is trying to open too many file descriptors (256) in order to process a POST.
I'm not sure how to phrase this question, but my reading has suggested that this limit may be set by the FILE struct in /usr/incldue/stdio.h.
Does anyone know if this is used in Python/Zope?
My first impression was that this problem would be easy to solve -- just up the number of FD's, but now, I'm not so sure. Any suggestions?
Here's a traceback -- but I don't think it's much help
