Perhaps we should set the limit to 1024, then.

BTW, I've been wondering about a lot of our limits for some time. I
think that perhaps our kernels should compute them at boot time based
on available resources rather than forcing a "one size fits all" on
everyone. A machine with 4G of physical memory probably can afford to
let user processes have a bit of a larger default stack size than a
machine with 4M of memory, right?
