Hi,
The following patch fixes a leak in high memory in case a

Hi,
due to something which I consider to be a kernel bug it's
impossible for pam to do its job and set the per-user
RLIMIT_NPROC (number of processes limit) to something which
is lower than the amount of processes root is running at that
moment.
At least, it fails with all programs which set

patch I grabbed did not apply cleanly to 2.2.19, despite it being a fresh
