    Problem Text
    This test may fail on implementations if the computed ulimit value
    used in the call ends up causing a negative value to be set.

    The test tries to set a limit with ulimit() and compare it to the
    result from getrlimit(). However, the test ignores the fact that it
    is setting a "long" limit and getrlimit returns a "rlim_t" (unsigned
    int). In this case, the test tries to set a negative limit, which
    doesn't make any sense, but is accepted by ulimit.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: ulimit

    TEST PURPOSE #5
    A call to long int ulimit(int cmd, ...) when cmd is
    UL_SETFSIZE shall allow only a process with
    appropriate privileges to increase its hard limit.
    PREP: Choose appropriate values for the soft and hard
    limits
    TEST: Privileged process can raise the hard limit
    ERROR: Process could not raise the hard limit
