Log Message:
	SuSE Enterprise Linux uses RLIMIT_NPROC and _SC_CHILD_MAX interchangably.
	This causes problems when setting RLIMIT_NPROC to RLIM_INFINITY due
	to a bug in bash where bash tries to honor the value of _SC_CHILD_MAX
	but treats a value of -1 as an error, and uses a default value of
	32 instead.

	Previously, we just checked RLIMIT_NPROC and, if it was unlimited,
	restored the previous value of RLIMIT_NPROC.  However, that makes
	it impossible to set nproc to unlimited.  We now only restore the
	nproc resource limit if sysconf(_SC_CHILD_MAX) is negative.  In
	most cases, pam_limits will set RLIMIT_NPROC for us.
