I've received a bug report noting that the `block size' the ulimit builtin
is using (the multiplier applied to the -f and -c options) is 1024, where
the POSIX standard and historical sh usage specify 512.
I'm considering changing the default block size for the next version. Just
a heads-up to watch for. Any change will be prominently noted in the NEWS
and CHANGES files, but distribution end users don't always see those.
