Uh... No, rlimits are rlim_t which are uint64_t.  But you are correct that 
this might cause trouble if we ever bothered to check it.  

I think you should cap the RSS limit ar VM_MAXUSER_ADDRESS in case someone 
ever enhances UVM to track RSS.  There is little point in having more 
pages resident than you are allowed to address.

OTOH I doubt this bug will have any noticeable effect.
