>Description:
	The man page for getrlimit(2)/setrlimit(2) does not mention
	the RLIMIT_NPROC limit.  The man page for fork(2) refers to
	MAXUPRC instead of to RLIMIT_NPROC.
>How-To-Repeat:
	man 2 getrlimit
	man 2 setrlimit
	man 2 fork
>Fix:
	Update the man pages to match what the kernel actually does.
