well, it's not orthogonal in the sense that i can only work on one of them in
the same unit of time, and this is already a side-project of a side-project for
me.
let me know if sanity checking the rlimit arg is a precondition for applying
this patch, and then i'll look into it.
otherwise APPLY and SETRLIMIT both signal any errors they encounter, and i think
better logging and backtraces will take us much farther than numerous sanity
checks and error messages, let alone the not-so-apparent costs of the extra LoC
that they introduce into the code.
