The only shells I know of that uses unlimit is csh & tcsh.. bleh.. :) 
FWIW, I've had the same problem in openbsd, while ulimit will fix your 
problem temporarily you'll probably want to edit your default user class 
/etc/login.conf. In response to someone earlier, I think it's Linux here 
that is un-unix like, I do not think that characteristally a (non-admin) 
user is allowed unlimited access to ram in most varieties of unix, among 
other things and for good reason.
