	Have you started a new tcsh since the sysctl?  I think that these 
sorts of things tend to be set by the program when it starts up, and 
it does not interactively detect an increase.  So, you'd need to stop 
and restart whatever program it is that needs the increased limits.

	This isn't a problem in my case, since I have repeatedly stopped 
and restarted the daemon in question.
