Our embedded application currently run on a x86 sbc, with an few years old 
minimal linux distributions.

We are porting our application to the TS-7552. Things should be very straight 
forward except of course for HW related stuff. However, when I run the software 
on the TS-7552, during the initialization phase of the program where many 
files/pipes/sockets are opened, I get errors about "Too many open files" and 
the program quits. This was not an issue on the x86 sbc. I compared the kernel 
parameters "ts.file-nr" and the same max values are the same on both (8196). I 
evidently tried to increase the value, but it did not help. Is there any other 
parameter I should check?

If I run the program in background, it also quits, but what's weird, is that if 
I launch a second instance of the program quickly, before the first instance 
quits, I don't get the error and both instances of the program runs normally 
(no error and everything else seem to work fine).

I noticed something that look suspicious. the command lsof returns a tons of 
lines (3728 to be exact) like:

app 227 root 3u sock 0,4 3168 can't identify protocol

This is when only one instance of the program is running (the other instance 
has been killed). Also "sysctl fs.file-nr" returns:

fs.file-nr = 1161 0 8192

I can't check if I get the same on the x86 since lsof is not available... The 
x86 toolchain is using glibc and the arm toolchain is using uClibc if that 
matters.

Any ideas anyone? Anything else I should check?
