Hi Chris,
At least for my bash, 'ulimit' without any options returns the limit
for the file size. To get the limit for the number of files, I have to
type 'ulimit -n' or 'ulimit -a' (and get 1024).
On our linux box, stunnel logs the following on startup:

which seems to match your observation.
I vaguely remember the limit for the number of open files on linux can
be adjusted somewhere in the /proc file system, but I don't really
know.
In any case, the limit you are hitting is set by the operating system.
