Everything I can find regarding modification of file descriptor limitations,
says to use ulimit to set the value. Doesn't busybox provide its own
implementation of ulimit?

Thanks,
Eric

No, your application is running on the linux kernel, through a C library 
(probably either glibc or uclibc).

This is a kernel issue.  To use an automotive metaphor, you're asking your 
tire vendor to diagnose an engine problem.
