Well, I don't think that my ulimits are causing the problems (though they
may be and I'm not aware of it), as I am able to do everything I want to
as long as I'm not su'd (even in another terminal screen). However, when
I am su'd, I get that error message, which didn't happen before. But, if
its a bug, its a bug...
