Sure they can, setrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, ...

Why do you want to set an open files limit anyway?  If a mysqld gets in a 
state where it opens more files than expected is having the open/pipe/accept 
call fail going to be the best thing for the system?

No most daemons fork themselves to detach from the controlling terminal, 
daemon(3) is usually the best way of doing this.

I doubt that for a RHEL 4 system which hasn't had all the available updates 
applied there is anyone who is interested in receiving such bug reports.

I'll just make it more of a priority to upgrade the system to a newer 
distribution.
