Problem: Solaris libc cannot fopen()/fdopen() more than 255 files. Additionally, it cannot handle file descriptors larger than 255. Although streams now avoids FILE* as much as possible, ZE1 requires FILE* in its flex scanners. Symptom: PHP SAPI implementations based on threads or that recycle processes may fail to open php scripts. If thread/process has already opened a number of files (such as log files opened for the web server), or has served previous requests, PHP can fail to open even the primary script file.

Opinions please; we need to have an official resolution before 4.3.2 is released. ("Solaris sucks, use <insert_name_of_not_so_broken_os_here> instead") There is an AT&T SFIO package that is a drop in replacement stdio package that fixes

this for solaris. FWIW.
