I've no idea what sets ulimit's limits. But that won't stop me from suggesting some possibilities. :-) - ulimit is a bash builtin, so you might want to look at bash's code. If bash is the problem, you might run under ash or another shell, though not launched from bash. - One possibility is that Windows limits the numbers of open files. Have you looked into that?
