Because exec affects only this task and we want to forgot maxrss value.
That does not implicate that we want to forgot highest maxrss value of
our childs because exec does not affect them. I think this is right
behavior.

No problem with this.

Ok I will add comment here.

Maybe it's better looking. I wanted to use these too. Oleg suggested to
optimize the way it is in the patch. I can change it, no problem.

Because we need this to be done for RUSAGE_THREAD too. Or don't we?

I cc'ed this list while I was sending the patch. I was not aware I
should change the man page. Will do that too.


Thanks a lot for comments Kosaki
