What you describe (increasing NOFILE and _NFILE) should work just
fine.  At BBN, we routinely run with NOFILE set to 40 (needed for some
network monitoring programs.) You might want to increase NINODE and
NFILE in param.h, too, if many programs are going to take advantage of
this--otherwise, don't bother.
