HP/UX does not let you setrlimit stack or data size beyond the maximum
sizes set by the maxdsize and maxssize kernel parameters.  But since
the default rlimits for stack and data are as large as what is allowed
by their respective kernel parameters, there is no need to set them
higher.

Or just remove the setrlimit error messages and let them silently fail.
