not sure I agree with that. According to the man page, RLIMIT_SIGPENDING is
counted in number of signals and RLIMIT_NPROC is counted as a number of
processes.

Fixed :)

I prefer to explicitly show order of operations, but I'm wierd that way, so I'll
change it :)

I don't think so, I borrowed the code there from sys_getrlimit, which also reds
task->signal->rlim (only for one element instead of the whole array, so if its
broken here it should be broken there, but I don't see how.

Its survived for a few days for me (while true; do cat /proc/*/limits;done),
with not noticible side effects (other than a slightly higher CPU load :)).

New patch with the ()'s and whitespace fixed.
