Ulimit gives 1024 as open file limit. In struct task_struct it has a 
member called struct files_struct *files;

I tried checking for this member and the limit however I am  not able to 
decide correctly why the limit is 1024.
  Also, is there any distinction between 32 bit and 64 bit systems for 
this limit?
