I was not generalizing on the basis of thttpd.  I said roughly that
I thought that a change like this would cause problems down the
line.  I then came up with a single example which is conveniently
badly written and hence shouldn't be considered.  Well, frankly,
I do not think that thttpd's behaviour in this case is all that
bad.  I do not think that processes should be required to do their
own resource limitations when a perfectly good model already exists
and is enforced by the kernel for them.
