>Description:
The "unlimit" command in "tcsh" got somehow broken in NetBSD-current for
the "root" account:

tron@lyssa:~>limit datasize
datasize        131072 kbytes
tron@lyssa:~>unlimit datasize
tron@lyssa:~>limit datasize
datasize        1048576 kbytes
tron@lyssa:~>su
Password:
tron@lyssa:~tron#limit datasize
datasize        1048576 kbytes
tron@lyssa:~tron#unlimit datasize
unlimit: datasize: Can't remove limit

Setting the limit with "limit datasize 1048576" manually works fine.
The bug is not i386 specific, Martin Huseman can reproduce it on a
sparc64 system.

>How-To-Repeat:
su
exec tcsh
unlimit datasize

>Fix:
None provided.
