It depends on the underlying file control used by ghc. if it's the FILE stream pointer, some implementations suffer from a 255 file limit. If it's a standard file descriptor (open instead of fopen), then it's limited by ulimit.
Oh, curses. I didn't run it with the right option.
:; ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) 6144
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 256
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 266
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
So now I'm not sure why it worked on my Mac.
