I'm astonished that it is so low; I thought only IRIX 6 had a limit this
close to the old 20k default.
Unfortunately, the version of jar I use reports
% jar u
/vol/gnu/bin/jar: `-u' mode unimplemented.
% jar --version
jar (fastjar) 0.92-gcc

Perhaps I should simply move it out of the way and use zip instead.
