It looks like 'ulimit -n' on FreeBSD lets you have 10k+ file descriptors open per process. FD_SETSIZE is 1024 in the system headers, though. GHC relies on this value (see ghc/rts/Select.c).
FD_SETSIZE is actually dynamic on FreeBSD (at least from the kernel's
point of view - the macros are less so). You can re-set it to whatever
value you like at compile time (e.g. gcc -DFD_SETSIZE=10240).
