Probably because I had not realised the option existed.
Now that I've read the man page again it's there hidden in
plain sight.

I have seen the "too many open files" problem myself when having MacPorts
install a lot of ports at once. Thanks for finding out
I upped the max number of open files using ulimit from
256 to 1 and ran my massive build again.
While the build was running I monitored the files opened
by tclsh8.5 using
sudo lsof | grep -i tcl | grep receipts | wc -l
There were 272 instances of
/opt/local/var/macports/receipts/file_map.db
, ports started failing with "too many
open files"
errors.
Eg:
./libtool: cannot make pipe for command substitution: Too many open files
I tried the command again with the same result except that it was much
quicker
due to the already built ports.
