Can you verify that the limit is actually applied? e.g. add 'ulimit -a'
to /etc/init.d/varnish, right before where it starts varnishd, run
'/etc/init.d/varnish restart', and check that the file descriptor limit
really is 131072.

Can you also show us the result of typing 'param.show' in the management
interface?

Sorry for the list noise. It was an error in some of my code. I added some
code in cache_center.c to function cnt_fetch to stop varnish from caching
401 Unauthorized returns. Anyway, I didn't know varnish's code very well
and wasn't aware that the variable I found that returned me the information
I needed was infact also returning me an fd. Anyway, for those interested
here is my code that I added with the fix VBE_ClosedFd()
------------
cnt_fetch(struct sess *sp)
{
...
vc = VBE_GetFd(sp);

if (http_GetStatus(vc->http) == 401)
sp->handling = VCL_RET_PASS;
VBE_ClosedFd(sp->wrk, vc, 0);
...

if (sp->handling == VCL_RET_ERROR)
INCOMPL();
