This continues to baffle me. I continue to get this:

postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system

despite increasing the process limit to 1024 open files. It occurs with bot=
h=20
the postfix in the base system and postfix in ports.  The problem started=20
occuring around 1 week ago. I can start it later, from a shell, without fai=
l.=20

I have a second NetBSD system running identical software (both machines=20
operating systems are built on the same machine) that has no problem starti=
ng=20
postfix with the default ulimt of 64 open file descriptors.

Any suggestions?
