--- Comment #5 from Mateusz Piotrowski <0mp@FreeBSD.org> ---
I think that I've accidentally discovered a hack/workaround:

    $ limits -C default echo ok
    limits: setrlimit datasize: Operation not permitted
    $ limits -C nonexistent echo ok
    login class 'nonexistent' non-existent, using default
    limits: setrlimit datasize: Operation not permitted
    $ limits -C me echo ok
    login class 'me' non-existent, using current settings
    ok

It turns out that setting the login class to "me" causes limits(1) to only
print a warning, instead of failing. I am not sure why it is so. Please note
that I do in fact have a "me" entry in my ~/.login_conf.
