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.

PS: Thanks to Uwe for doing the legwork/research on the cause of this
problem.
