ulimit -f is a file size limit, see ksh(1) for a description of ulimit
options. You need ulimit -n. If it's too low, edit login.conf and find
the relevant openfiles-cur for the class your userid is in. Logout and
back in again to use the new limits.

If this isn't enough, you could also be running into system limits.

$ sysctl kern.{n,max}files
kern.nfiles=315
kern.maxfiles=7030

kern.maxfiles can be raised temporarily (sysctl kern.maxfiles=NN) or at
boot in /etc/sysctl.conf.

fstat will show you what's open. Try something like "fstat | grep
-c username" for a quick estimate of what you're using.
