This is for V.3.2 etc only. There is some sort of problem with V.4
that stops you increasing the default ulimit in the kernel, and can on
be set using ulimit() or in the /etc/default/login (etc) files.

Can somebody who knows if this is a real bug, and whether there is a
work around for it (V4 !) please post...
