#25 increase the number of allowed fragments

[Anonymous]

It would be great if we could blast 50,000 (or more) fragments
against each other.

Aaron said the number of fragments is dependent on the
number of file a process can open.

I checked on my system of interest. I used the ulimit
command in sh and found the default limit is 1024, it can be
set as high as 2048. Then in tcsh i used limit and found that
the default number of descriptors is 1024, and that number
can be set as high as 12000.

I'm poling the developers around here to determine if there is
a way to determine these limits during run-time.

Thanks
