EVALUATION The /dev/poll driver limits the number of pollfd structs that can be written to the driver in a single batch to the maximum number of file descriptors. The Selector implementation, on the other hand, limits the number of updates in a single batch to 10000. By default the maximum number of file descriptors is 64k so this is not a problem. In this customer's case, the limit is 2048 so >2048 updates will cause the exception in the description.

WORK AROUND Increase the maximum number of file descriptors to 10000 or greater (the default on Solaris is 64k).
