well, I'm running bzr on smaller machines:
  4 dual-core dual-thread SPARC64-VI 2150MHz cpus, system freq: 1012MHz
  total memory = 16384MB (16GB)

And I can't raise the limit: even if ulimit shows a greater value the
kernel does not let me open more files - I have to talk to my admins
if the Solaris zone the host is running in can make a difference,
but I don't think so because it's the same in the 'global' zone.

Thanks,
Berny
