Solaris and the 256 File Descriptor Problem

Some of you reading this may remember that back when InterBase 6.0 was released on Solaris we ran into a fundamental problem on Solaris. It seems that since 1992 there has been an open bug documenting Solaris’ file descriptor problem: “32-bit stdio routines should support file descriptors >255.”
When this issue was discovered, we chose to use SFIO, a stdio variant from AT&T
Comments on this issue can be found in jrd/common.h which forces a superserver build to use our own internal stdio.h found in extern/SfIO/include.

Well it looks like in Solaris 10 Sun have finally fixed the issue.
