dovecot - Dec 2002 - RLIMIT_AS patch for FreeBSD

Hey,

I've just updated the FreeBSD dovecot port to the 0.99.4 beta release,
the following patch was needed as FreeBSD has setrlimit(2) but does not
define RLIMIT_AS (I believe). I switched the code the require both,
alternatively find a parallel option in the FreeBSD setrlimit(2) manual
page. ( http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?setrlimit )

You may be interested in integrating this patch.

I fixed this some time ago by using RLIMIT_DATA which should be defined
everywhere. RLIMIT_AS is also used with systems that have it. It's
mostly useful with Linux/glibc2.3 where RLIMIT_DATA doesn't have much
effect since malloc() uses mmap() for larger allocations.

0.99.5 should be out soon I think :)
