In fact, there is no stock way to set the interesting limits.  If you
write some new kernel code, you can change the values, but this has
no effect on anything.

There are 3 (?) limits that you can set using the SYSV ulimit() call
documented in your manual.  Apparently CT had to break the OS in several
places to make it SVID compliant. :(
