$ ulimit -a        
time(cpu-seconds)    unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
data(kbytes)         1048576
stack(kbytes)        2048
lockedmem(kbytes)    79264
memory(kbytes)       237792
nofiles(descriptors) 64
processes            1000
sbsize(bytes)        unlimited

What values do you think I should rise?  Don't know, 700kb seems
to be very innocuous value to break into any of the limits above..
