Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHNE_20004

Symptoms:
	PHNE_20004:
	Portmap fails to start with the following error message
	select error: Bad file number
	portmap: svc_run returned unexpectedly

Defect Description:
	PHNE_20004:
	Changing the softlimit of maximum number of open
	files per process beyond 2048 causes select()
	failure. The reason is that portmap uses some of the
	libc data strucures which are designed to handle only
	2048 file descriptors. Currently portmap uses the
	kernel configured softlimit of the number of open files
	which can exceed 2048.

	Resolution:
	Portmap has been changed to handle the open file
	descriptors up to 2048 only.
