Solaris 10/11 64-bit compile?

Hi Amos,

I think that this must be a bug in the Solaris system header file that 
defines RLIM_INFINITY.  It really ought to be defined as a value that is 
compatible with the fields in the rlimit structure.

You could try to work around the problem by adding a cast:

   && rlim.rlim_cur != (rlim_t) RLIM_INFINITY)

Cheers
