Yep, I've run cap_mkdb, and the problem remained.  Here's the output
of limits -a, taken after logging in from xdm and a virtual console.

A shell from xdm:

Resource limits (current):
  cputime          infinity secs
  filesize         infinity kb
  datasize           524288 kb
  stacksize           65536 kb
  coredumpsize     infinity kb
  memoryuse-cur       32768 kb
  memorylocked     infinity kb
  maxprocesses-cur       64
  openfiles             680

A Shell from a virtual console:

Resource limits (current):
  cputime          infinity secs
  filesize         infinity kb
  datasize           524288 kb
  stacksize           65536 kb
  coredumpsize     infinity kb
  memoryuse        infinity kb
  memorylocked     infinity kb
  maxprocesses          339
  openfiles             680

There isn't a login class in /etc/login.conf that corresponds to
either of them.

Btw, I'm currently using bash-2.0.  Not that I'd imagine it would make
that much difference.

The problem does go away (oh, I can *finally* run gdb) if I run
'limits -C root /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm' in /etc/rc.local.  After I do
that, the limits for xdm become the same as what I've listed for
virtual consoles.
