At best, it's shell-specific: Solaris 11 /bin/sh (which is ksh93) does
have it, although admittedly previous Solaris/IRIX/Tru64 UNIX shells
don't.  On the other hand, bash has it on all of those systems.

Why not simply test if ulimit -u doesn't error and then use it?  I'd
very much prefer this to a solution that is unnecessarily OS-specific.

Thanks.
