Thanks for the feedback.

With MCL_FUTURE specified, yes it could fail. The thought was to just
abide by the previously set system limits (assuming that is why it
failed), but that would cause more problems than its worth. I'll
revert the behavior.

With Solaris, since it does not have this artificial limit, we should
be safe to use mlockall by itself (according to my understanding of
the docs).

I didn't either, but I wasn't sure what the preferred style would be.
I'll change the conditional calls to check for supported platforms
individually.

I'll do what I can, but please fill in the gaps on the final patch.

Maybe one day I'll learn how to copy and paste patches out of a
terminal and into gmail. In the mean time, I'll try your suggestion.
