Ports tree cvsup'ed sometime last week.

>Description:

The port patches src/mem-limits.h to declare the "lim_data" variable
as rlim_t (a 64-bit type), but src/emacs.c still defines it as an
integer.  This makes the memory limit checking think that there are
zero bytes available.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install the editors/xemacs port.  Run xemacs.  See the warning messages.

>Fix:

Put this diff in files/patch-emacs.c of the port.
