the ulimit (or limit on csh) shell builtin sets the process limits (see 
getrlimit(2)) for the current process (and its children).  please 
consult your shell's manual for the syntax of limit/ulimit.  run it in 
your shell startup files, or set the limits in /etc/login.conf for your 
login class.  you can bump up the limits up to the hard limit (limit -h, 
ulimit -Ha).
