This seems to be a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question). Unfortunately, it seems to seems to also be a NAQ (Never Answered Question). I myself have asked it several times and the answers, involving CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX and limits, never work. Apparently, FreeBSD is too primitive to handle more than a few files at once. (please realize the above is an intentional goad to get SOMEONE to finally answer this. I love FreeBSD :) )
