No, the limit on 2.5 and 2.6 is 4096. You just _must_ use poll(), not
select(), if you go above 1024. You should use poll() on solaris anyway,
it's faster. select is just a wrapper around poll().

add the following to /etc/system and reboot, and max fds will be 4096.
-----------8<------------
set rlim_fd_max=0x1000
set rlim_fd_cur=0x1000
-----------8<------------

Disclaimer: Sun probably don't support anything over 1024, but hell, stdio
breaks at anything over 256, so it's not like this is suprising.
