  Yes. But one page can be more than 1024. In my case - 4096. If I set 
ulimit -m 1024, one user can get RSS (in top) 1500 kBytes. I hit this 
when my server was drown in swapping, when users ulimits were set to 
half RAM. One user had eat all memory (as top had show) and I had check 
manuals (setrlimit, etc).

  Man bash says: "Values are in 1024-byte increments, except for -t, 
which is in seconds, -p, which is in units of 512-byte blocks, and -n 
and -u, which are unscaled values". So I exepect -m operates "1024-bytes 
increments"... /etc/security/limits.conf also says "- rss - max resident 
set size (KB)" - not true actually.
