Description
The system I am testing on does not let me set the ulimit -n 256 but instead restricts me to ulimit -n 128 which requires the redir.right file to need to be updated. Need to see if this is a problem on other machines in which case we should request it be reduced, or alternately see if ZOSCAN2B can have it's ulimit -n increased.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the redir.tests and redir.right files to find where the required ulimit value is set and checked. Compare the reported limit across other machines, and investigate whether ZOSCAN2B can use a higher limit. Done means establishing whether the requirement should be reduced or the environment limit increased, with the chosen change reflected in the relevant test configuration.
