I'm happy to drop the [ ishost "*-linux*" ] && if you are going to look for
failures on weirdo OSes.  I have no idea what ulimit -u does on anything but
Linux, while the tcl code only uses its value if it printed a number,
whether it is something similar to limit on number of each user's threads
or something completely else is unclear.
