Operating Systems Solaris Can't solve the "Too many open files" error

Is your application 32 bit or 64 bit file /proc/3962/object/a.out ?

What Solaris release are you using (cat /etc/release) and is your system up to date with patches ?

If your application is 32 bit, there is a limitation of 256 file descriptors usable through the stdio library. This could explain why you have the too many open files error with only 265 open files (9 of which that could have been open directly with open, not through stdio fopen)

Have a look here for details and a workaround:
