>Upping your ulimit is described in the FAQ for this group.

As S5R4's resource-limiting code is derived from 4.3BSD's to a large
degree, and as the ulimit is, I think, the same as the RLIMIT_FSIZE
limit, if you wish can you just say "ulimits suck" and set the ulimit to
RLIMIT_INFINITY, i.e. 0x7fffffff (at least in 4.3BSD and many
derivatives), and not have a ulimit *at all*?
