+/* Sigh.
+ * Valve compiled Steam against the glibc2.2 version of setrlimit.
+ * This broken version aliased 0 to RLIM_INFINITY.
+ *
+ * So, what you have to do is: if you want to run steam with this gcompat,
+ * ensure you compile *without* defining NO_BROKEN_SHADOW_SETRLIMIT.
+ * If you do *not* want to run steam with this gcompat, define it.
+ * 
+ * The only problem with enabling this all the time is that if a binary
+ * really does need a ulimit to be 0 for any reason (such as coredumps), it
+ * very obviously won't work here.
