AFAIK ulimit only sets the maximum number of open files your current
session can use, but there's still a maximum total number of files you
can open, which is caused by the file descriptor table being an array of
fixed size - one that you can configure in the Linux kernel settings,
though...
In other words, I guess a kernel reconfiguration and recompile is in
order... :)
