I did the recommended change to 8192, and it did stick, but I'm still having
this bug with Half-Life 2 Episode 2.

I ran your script (substituting my user name, of course) while in-game (I used
a TTY console and sent the results to a text file).  I don't know which numbers
are which, so here's my results.

496    wineserve:5566
538    Steam.exe:5582
577    hl2.exe:10140

I don't know if that means that HL2Ep2 needs an even higher ulimit number or
what.  This is with Closed Captions and Developer's Commentary turned on, so I
don't know if that affects the numbers at all.
