I would like to see RLIMIT_RSS again.
It did work nicely pre-SunOS-4.0 to limit background jobs (limit mem 0)
an I did make it work again on Sun-OS-4.0 by hacking the scheduler and let it
swap out (no typo) a process in case that its resident set was above the limit.
This would also work in SunOS-5.x
