Are you sure you're spelling that properly?  In all other shells I
use, it's called "ulimit".

And yes, I've been beating this into submission myself on OpenBSD.
I've used sysctl to raise the number of system-wide fd's to 4096, then
used /etc/login.conf to raise the allowable per-process number of
fd's.  Then I abandoned bash as user freenet's default shell because
the OpenBSD port of bash limits open fd's to 128 arbitrarily in some
instances (though this last one confuses me greatly, because it's not
entirely consistent).

This was a real show-stopped during the 512-ish days when the number
of file descriptors used shot through the ceiling.
