I still like the rlimit-based interface because I think it gives good intuition
about how to use the facility and about how it ought to be exposed to high-level
parts of userland but it certainly can't hurt to cook up a version based on
prctl() so that we can make a fair comparison of the two.
I'll see what I can come up with.

Michael
