Thanks for spotting that. I changed it and found a way to see a
running processes limits in Solaris:

/usr/proc/bin/pfiles 3716 | grep rlimit
  Current rlimit: 1024 file descriptors

I tested with 1024 this time and now it uses it (after the change
above) but it still crashes all the time. I seem to have another error
message though.

That file (temporary db?) does in fact exist.

I also have the permissions to create files in that directory.
