What is your hard limit for open files per user now?

Check config.h in <nachine-arch> directory eg. sparc-unknown-openbsd2.4.
There is a define MAXCONNECTIONS  that limits max connections to 1024.
Raise it and you'll be fine unless you forgot to also raise FD_SETSIZE -
put something like -DFD_SETSIZE=8192 to CFLAGS in Makefile. FD_SETSIZE MUST
be bigger than your MAXCONNECTIONS:

config.h:# if (MAXCONNECTIONS > FD_SETSIZE)
config.h:error FD_SETSIZE must be bigger than MAXCONNECTIONS

Btw: part of this was discussed last november on openbsd-tech or -misc.
