Actually, you're looking at global, not local limits. Your SKS process
has [probably] inherited imposed shell fd limit. You can always check it
with:

# limits

And you'll get output similar to following:

cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        unlimited
stacksize       unlimited
coredumpsize    0kB
memoryuse       unlimited
maxproc         unlimited
descriptors     1024
memorylocked    unlimited
addressspace    unlimited
maxfilelocks    unlimited

How to increase fd-s [that means file descriptors or open files count]
depends on your shell.
