No comments for the linux stuff (apart from "cool!"), but I agree this part is appropriate and am glad someone adjusted it. I ran into it just yesterday and found it extremely counterintuitive: cf. program in bin/43409 which has to set both RLIMIT_AS and RLIMIT_DATA to different values to control malloc. If you want to commit that as a separate change, I'm all for it.
