Subject: (2.16) BSDi 2.0 / FreeBSD / NetBSD

BSDi has a default some datasize limits which will let some operations
fail. Add the following at the beginning of rc.news (and also of
news.daily):

limit datasize unlimited
limit openfiles 256
limit memoryuse unlimited
limit maxproc unlimited


There is only a reference to BSDi, but the same applies to NetBSD.

Another thing are your compile options in config.data:

#  If greater than -1, then use [gs]etrlimit to set that many descriptors.
#  If -1, then no [gs]etrlimit calls are done.
### =()<NOFILE_LIMIT           @<NOFILE_LIMIT>@>()=
NOFILE_LIMIT            -1
