[xml] I/O error : Too many open files

["Jang, Darryl" <djang cybersource com>]

I am using libxml2 and libxslt on this environment:

 

SunOS cbrdeveng5 5.8 Generic_108528-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

 

Through my application, I am transforming data with xslt to properly format a message out to a third party.  In normal circumstances my transformations work just fine; my .xsl file is there and globally readable.  However, in high concurrency (40+ threads) I am getting this in STDERR:

 

I/O error : Too many open files
I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/djang/codebase/feservertarget/server/data/payment/insert_order_cc_auth.xsl" error

 

I get this error when calling:

 

xsltParseStylesheetFile

 

It returns NULL.  I've looked in the source code briefly, and it's reporting EMFILE from sys/errno.h.  Something within xmlIO.c is NULL.  I am using libxml 2.6.4 and have compiled it --with-threads.  Any insight on this matter would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks much.
