Package: kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64
Version: 8.1+dfsg-8
Severity: important
On my system, the default limits for RLIMIT_NOFILE surpass the system-wide
maximum limit set in kern.maxfilesperproc:
$ sysctl kern.maxfilesperproc
kern.maxfilesperproc: 11095
$ ulimit -n
12328
attempting to change this limit, however, results in the effective value
being corrected:
$ ulimit -n 12328
$ ulimit -n
11095
This confuses some application software. For example, valgrind assumes that
if you substract 20 to rlim_cur you obtain a free file descriptor for
dup2()-ing into it, etc.
I could only reproduce this problem with kFreeBSD 8.1. My tests on 8.2,
9-STABLE and 10-CURRENT indicate these versions are not affected (but
I can't be sure if there are other factors that could be hiding the bug).

kfreebsd-8 is no longer in Debian, I'm therefore closing the remaining
bug reports. If the bug is still present in the current versions
(kfreebsd-10 and kfreebsd-11), feel free to reopen and reassign or file
a new bug report.
