Description 
PKCS#11 engine uses FILE* based function calls for opening files (fopen() in pk11_load_{pub,priv}key()). This result in application using the engine hitting a ceiling of 256 file descriptors in 32-bit process. Hence the engine should be using Extended FILE space for 32-bit Solaris processes API as specified in PSARC 2006/162 which mitigates this problem.
