The tests start out with ulimit -t 600 ; ulimit -d 512000 ; ulimit -m 512000 ; ulimit -v 1024000 ; I understand that there is no support for setting those limits, but the behaviour of 'ulimit -m' seems inconsistent: /bin/sh: line 0: ulimit: -m: invalid option ulimit: usage: ulimit [-SHacdfilmnpqstuvx] [limit] --------------------------------^ If -m isn't a valid option, it shouldn't appear in the usage.
