We would only set limits in (PARI's) `spkg-install`.
Note that `ulimit` only affects the '''current process''' and its
subprocesses (i.e. gets inherited), therefore I also used the parentheses
in the example above.
`ulimit` is (also) a `bash` built-in btw. We could also limit its use to
Linux.
And ordinary users (i.e., their processes) ''cannot '''in'''crease''
limits once they are set.
