Why should the application perform a task which ulimit can be
configured to address, if there is an abuse? ... and a
'sysadmin' who does such needs after being appraised of the
issue, not to be trusted with admin rights. Again the
solution is not in the space of the tool, but in the space of
the management of the affected system ;)
