FD_SETSIZE only controls how big the fd_set used by select()
can be; there are other limits.
For info about the limits on file descriptors and how to raise them,
see http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html
Depending on what kernel and what program, it might be as easy as
echo 32768 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max
echo 65536 > /proc/sys/fs/inode-max
and then, for the process in question,
ulimit -n 32768
