Mac OS like everything apple travels to the beat of a different drum. I do not pretend to know a lot about it however this was true with Darwin:

If the kernel has no imposed open file limit or it is large, then there is a per process restriction in place if you get that kind of error. Assuming you don't have 8192 files open.

Code:

ulimit

What does that show you?
