Solaris is definitely not my area of expertise, but to the best of my 
UNIX-hunting-around-
looking-for-the-answer ability, that's all I can find.   If Zope is 
started in a shell with
$ ulimit -n 200
and I POST the offending form, I get a "too many open files" error.  But 
if ulimit -n 512,
then I get "No such file or directory" when $ZOPE/lib/python/tempfile.py 
tries to fdopen a
file descriptor higher than 255 (line 155).

my /etc/system doesn't have anything other than some shm settings.

Can you create a form:

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <input type="submit" value="Click me to test FD's">
  <dtml-in "_.range(500)">
    <input type=text name="input_<dtml-var sequence-number>" 
value="<dtml-var sequence-number>">
  </dtml-in>
</form>

and tell me if you get the OSError?
