Ok, I've found the CAUSE: mod_php4! If I don't load mod_php4, then RLIMIT_AS works as expected: The limits are in Mb, and behave as one expects. If I load mod_php4, then suddenly I require an RLIMIT_AS of 120:140 to get it to kill processes at 50Meg... *sigh* Now, WHY it's doing this I still have no idea, but I have another avenue to search down now at least... -- .
