Also: please rebuild "xargs" and install first. Otherwise, a lot of
build script etc that use "xargs" won't ever trigger the new limits (or
lack thereof), because xargs will have been installed with some old
limits.

Perhaps more worrying is if compiling xargs under a new kernel then means
that it won't work correctly under an old one.
