Maybe rather your *script* is leaking the file descriptors. I see you
are are merrily opening new files through
po_i = getline < farr[no]
without ever closing them again, so they accumulate.
I suggest to add the close into the EOF check following right after
the getline:
if(po_i == 0) {
close(farr[no]
break
}
(I grew up on unix systems with the "20 open files per process" limit,
so I quickly got into the habit of properly closing my files again
in awk, too.)
