      I've recently hit a problem with a httpd process running out of space
      for more fd.

      While I'm seriouly looking for a fd-leak in the php-development
      behind the web server, I realized that i didn't know how to increase
      this parameter.

      Is there any /proc interface for increasing the number of file
      descriptors per process?

      Must I recompile? maybe changes must be made to files_struct?

      I've seen a patch for "variable fd array patch for 2.1.90" from Bill
      Hawes, is there a patch for 2.2.x or 2.4.x kernels?
