[Question about how to administatively set the ulimit]

This isn't so hard to do, without changing ulimit code.  Just use inittab to
set ulimit to some astronomical value at boot time (the line should have the
default rstate and an action of boot).  Then set ulimit down to any desired
value in /etc/profile.  Even changing the default value used by ulimit sounds
like a minor code change (if you have source of course).
