If you think that's low, on Mac OS X the default FD limit is 256! You
can only open 256 handles before the system says EMFILE.

Anyway, recall that all loading of shared libraries is done by ld.so in
userland. I'd venture a guess that ld.so opens the file, then tries to
mmap(2) the file into memory. Key words: "opens the file". It, too is
running out of FDs. That's probably why you're getting the
dlopen(3)-related error.
