Caution... a program that opens so many files likely has a bug. It might be opening all the files in or under a dir or doing something else silly. It may get you at a later time. If 1024 was the limit today, then when will the limit of 90000 be hit...
90.000 was just an example.
There are programs which need many more than 1024 open files and they are not buggy in this context.
