That's what we had in revs 1.1 through 1.36 (modulo style bugs).  It was
hacked on in rev.1.37 to copy p_cpulimit (p_cpulimit needs to be copied
but is not in the array of rlimits).

Same bug.

That is better (without the note), and is what we do now but in doubly
obfuscated (we use bcopy() instead of struct assignment, and confuse the
pointers to the structs with pointers to the first member of the structs).
De-obfuscation gives:

Revs 1.1 through 1.36 really did want to copy only part of the struct,
so struct assignment was not suitable for them.
