Check any ulimits imposed on the process you are running.
# ulimit -n
1024
You should be able to increase that value to your file-max value.
and
FD_SETSIZE defined in:
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h
#define __FD_SETSIZE 1024
If you are feeling silly you can modify the value of FD_SETSIZE and
recompile your software.
In either case, standard warnings apply.
