 Ulimit is ``unlimited'', unless it does something different (and silly?)
 at boot time.
 
 As this one is a basic, boot time, plain vanilla issue, I am sort of
 ``playing dumb'' here.  As I am still new here, am I expected to fix that
 (since I spoke first :-) or there is an ``official maintainer'' for this
 piece?
