Hi,
the kernel people recently changed (at least for x86) the types used
for rlimit in the kernel to unsigned and changed the INIFITY values.
I've checked in appropriate changes for the libc headers a few minutes
ago but this is probably not enough as these new programs should work
on old kernel. So I plan to add a wrapper around setrlimit() to limit
the values passed in for old kernels to the old INFINITY value. Is
there anything else missing? I don't think another architecture was
effected, right?
