BZZZT!

That does not change the fact that an unprivileged user can use up to
`maxsockbuf' bytes of wired kernel memory per socket.  That's why the
limit exists.  The amount of memory allocated to socket buffer data
structures is not the same as the amount of user data which can be
stored in the socket buffer.
