Thanks, I fixed this a while back.

I'm going to continue to restrict this to what's available via the
{get,set}rlimit interface.

bash-4.3 and ulimit -T

[William Bader]

I am running bash 4.3.33 that I built from source on Fedora 20 
3.18.7-100.fc20.x86_64.
When I run "help ulimit", the line for "-Tthe maximum number of threads" 
does not line up with the other options because the message in ulimit_doc[] 
around line 1443 of ulimit.c has 4 spaces after the -T instead of a tab.  Line 
53 of ulimit.def also has spaces instead of a tab.
Fixing this would also require fixing the string in the various *.po files.
ulimit on Fedora 20 does not implement -T, but could ulimit show the maximum 
number of CPUs, similar to "grep allowed /proc/self/status" or the taskset 
command?
