Some of the default limits in login.conf are much smaller than the kernel
defaults:

		kernel		login.conf
		------		----------
datasize	16M		16M
maxproc		40		64
memorylocked	10M		infinity
stacksize	2M		8M

Some are larger and broken:

memoryuse	30M		machine-dependent

The kernel sets this to the maximum amount of real memory available,
which is about 6MB on an 8MB machine, so forcing it to a larger value
is wrong.  I think the kernel defaults should be increased to the
maximum or infinity and setclassresources() should never reduce them.
