I was able to get past the fd limit on Linux. Aside from the
/etc/security/limits.conf mod:
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 4096
You need to add to /etc/pam.d/other
session required pam_limits.so
Then restart your slapd process.
Cheers,
Robert

It is Linux as it happens. We added
* hard nofile 4096
to /etc/security/limits.conf at the same time that we added
ulimit -n 4096
to the init.d script for ldap. All this did was to change the syslog
error message from
daemon: accept(6) failed errno=24 (Too many open files)
to
daemon: 1024 beyond descriptor table size 1024
which to me smells like a recompilation is required. If there's another
way I'd love to hear about it.
Thanks,
David
