	Hello Sparc users.  I've been seeing a problem with the ulimit command
under NetBSD 1.3_BETA with /bin/sh.  the typescript below shows what I
mean.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  It seems to work fine under
NetBSD/i386 1.2G, what about other ports?

	On an unreleated note, how do I turn off limits with /bin/sh?
-thanks
