Ulimits strikes again (SYSV)

If you aren't squeemish about adb'ing the kernel, one might look at the
relative offset of u.u_limit in user.h and then adb the kernel starting
at main, looking for usage of this offset.  It seems that in "hand-crafting"
process zero, the system-wide ulimit is set (since the ulimit for a process
is inherited from its parent).  This value is typically set up in the first
few lines of main.  (This is how I posted the previous patch to Xenix).
