My earlier comment was meant to be a weak vote for the limits.
"weak" in the sense that I would like to keep them, but that
I do not feel very strongly about it.  Consider it more like
half-a-vote for them.  Even with that, I wouldn't mind if limits
were only available as a malloc option (set via /etc/malloc.conf)
and not done by default.

Perhaps just file these comments under "nice ideas to do someday",
and just ignore them for now...
