So how can I raise the filedescriptor limit above 1024 (linux-2.6.24.2, Debian)?

In /etc/security/limits.conf, set

## domain type item limit

•           soft    nofile          8192

•           hard    nofile          8192

And in /etc/profile do

ulimit -HSn 8192

Log out from shell and log back in and you have new settings in effect.
