FAQ 6.9 ... How to find total # of clients? ULIMIT prob?

[Charles Sharpe]

My results:
$ulimit -n 512
bash: ulimit: cannot get limit: Invalid argument

Bash is version 2.05-6
CYGWIN is version 1.3.2-1
as reported by setup.

My bat file to start XWin had
ulimit -n 512

A netstat from the Sun
netstat | grep $MYIP:6000 | wc -l
Yielded only 15 lines.

I installed Server44.  It did fix the problem.  Even if it is not the
preferred method.  
I think that the problem with ulimit (Mr Hunt reported same error) should be
looked at.  Can someone with more experience verify and report the ulimit
problem. If this is the problem and is resolved from the CYGWIN side, I
guess the change made to server44 should be removed.

Thanks
