Hi Clement,
I seem to recall (though this may have changed) that if a system supports
ipv6, we may open both ipv4 and ipv6 sockets. This can be worked around by
configuring Open MPI with --disable-ipv6
Other then that, I don't know of anything else to do except raise the limit
for the number of open files.
I know it doesn't help you now, but we are actively working on this problem
for Open MPI 1.3. This version will introduce a tree routing scheme which
will dramatically reduce the number of open sockets that the runtime system
needs.
Hope this helps,
Tim
