One of the benefits of SunOS4.0 is that you can have more open files than
the usual 20.

Looking in /sys/sys/param.h on my Sun386 gives NOFILE (max number of open
files per process) to be 64.

If this still isn't enough, you could try changing this value and
rebuilding the kernel, though I take no responsibility for anything that
might happen as a result.
