if you are using the c-runtime for opening files, you also have to increase
the number of handles the c-runtime can handle as well as the FILEBUF table for
the buffered io calls (fwrite, fopen, etc.).  this is documented in the c
startup code in crt*.asm fairly close to _astart.  also need to check _file.c.
