Well, Debian has a similar facility, but I don't think this solves the
problem, as it only covers processes that descend from a login shell.
What about daemons?

I hit trouble with the dynamic linker:
# cat test.c
char buf[1024*1024*1024];
int
main ()
{
}
# gcc test.c -o test
# ./test
Abort trap: 6
Not sure about other things but IMHO it's a valid reason to increase
the default to match with the one set by userland.
