It sounds like OS X is doing something unusual with either the getrlimit() or setrlimit() system call. You'll have to either do the debugging and diagnostics yourself or find someone who will -- since it is a commercial OS, coder-com members can't easily set up a sandbox to play with it. One early step would be to change line 185 in s_bsd.c (the "error setting max fd's" line) to something like this: fprintf(stderr, "error setting max fds to %d: %s\n", limit, strerror(errno)); That would at least give the error message, although it wouldn't say why OS X works differently than every other Unix variant that we have tested ircu on.
