    In the case of Microport V/386 the kernel is directly patchable to
  whatever ULIMIT you like. I looked through the linkkit and couldn't
  find any references to ulimit so perhaps "patch" is the only way.
  In any event, a "patch" program comes with the distribution and you
  simply invoke it with:

        /etc/patch /unix Ulimit xxxx  (where xxxx is the number of
              				blocks)

    You then simply reboot and you have the new limit.
