This information is rather hard to come by.  Since this is "fixed", should I 
instead file bugs against

 - limits.conf - lists an rss limit as the example in the man page, and does
       not warn that some or the limits just don't work.
 - zsh (and presumably, bash), which similarly pretends that limits work,
       does not report an error when setting one that don't, and while I'm at 
it, really should
       support abbreviated numbers (K,M,G suffixes) instead of just ignoring 
the suffix.
?

Anyway, I was using ulimit -d (RLIMIT_DATA), is that also supposed to
not work?

BTW, there's a patch for RLIMIT_RSS on 2.6.8 at http://lwn.net/Articles/96859/, 
presumably it wasn't applied?
