There are two ways to get around this problem. The temporary fix is to use
the command 'ulimit xxxx' and set the ulimit larger, but this only will work
for root. A permanent way is to use /etc/patch and change it in the kernal.
To do this you need to be logged on as root and execute the command:
	/etc/patch /system5 ulpatch 10000
You will then need to reboot the system.  The default ulimit is set somewhere
around 2500 blocks (1.2M). You can find info on doing this in the release notes
that came with your software.
