Setting default/max thread stack size with rlimit

[Corey Minyard]

Ok, that's fine.  I'm just curious now, what is the reasoning?  I 
couldn't find any documentation on this besides a few things in the 
ChangeLog and include files, and those didn't give any reason why 
rlim_cur was used instead of rlim_max for the max stack size of a 
thread, they just talk about rlimit.  I couldn't find anything searching 
the web, either.
