Looks like you've got it all wrong.
ulimit -m operates in units of 1024 pages each:

$ strace -e setrlimit bash -c 'ulimit -m 1'
setrlimit(RLIMIT_RSS, {rlim_cur=1024, rlim_max=1024}) = 0
$ strace -e setrlimit bash -c 'ulimit -m 1234'
setrlimit(RLIMIT_RSS, {rlim_cur=1234*1024, rlim_max=1234*1024}) = 0
