Upping your ulimit is described in the FAQ for this group.  I quote: "

    1. If your desired limit is > 12288(6MB):

        Edit /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune to change the following line:
            ULIMIT          3072    2048    12288
        to:
            ULIMIT          3072    2048    xxxxx

        where xxxxx is the limit you desire.

    2. Edit /etc/conf/cf.d/stune to add/change the following line:

        ULIMIT  xxxxx

       where xxxxx is the limit you desire.  Note that this step can
       be performed in the kernel configuration software (i.e.: kconfig
       for 386/ix).

    3. Edit /etc/default/login to delete the ULIMIT line.

    4. Rebuild the kernel and reboot.
