Socket() “too many files open” error – but no files are open
I am writing an RPG Sockets program and when I call the "C" socket() function, I am receiving an "EMFILE 3452 Too many open files for this process" error. However, there are no other files open in this program.
The code and prototypes are exactly the same as an existing "C" client that is working.
Its fairly straightforward and seems like it should be working.
Any ideas on what is happening would be appreciated.

How do you know that’s what you’re receiving? That is, please show the code that determines that an error exists and that the errno is 3452.
Also, what happens before Socket() that might set errno?
