Synopsis: RLimitMEM doesn't work on Linux

State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: dgaudet
State-Changed-When: Wed Feb 18 12:54:03 PST 1998
State-Changed-Why:
Patch applied to 1.3b6-dev.  Thanks.

For interest sake, RLIMIT_DATA applies to memory allocated via brk()
only.  RLIMIT_AS applies to all memory, including mmap()d memory... and
newer linux libcs use mmap() for allocation.  I consider the RLIMIT_DATA
behaviour to be a bug... but Linus hasn't ever accepted a patch to
fix it.
