One complaint is enough? :-).  I've already complained.

A correct implementation seems to require the following: (:-()
(1) search for and reduce all higher limits in rlim_cur and rlim_max in
the process table.
(2) search for and kill all processes that expect the limits that they
have already checked to remain valid.  See src/lib/libc/gen/sysconf.c.
