3# ulimit.hack: Create an intermediate program for use in
4# between kernel initialization and init startup.
5# This is needed on a 3b system if the standard CDLIMIT is
6# so small that the dumped Emacs file cannot be written.
7# This program causes everyone to get a bigger CDLIMIT value
8# so that the dumped Emacs can be written out.
9#
10# Users of V.3.1 and later should not use this; see etc/MACHINES
11# and reconfig your kernel's CDLIMIT parameter instead.
12#
13# Caveat: Heaven help you if you screw this up. This puts
14# a new program in as /etc/init, which then execs the real init.
15#

38# Upon system reboot, all processes will inherit the new large ulimit.
