Not the box, the OS.  Conclusion, it isn't actually enforced.  Hum...  
Do we want to add code to gcc to ignore DATA on darwin?

The reason is that all boxes, all users currently have this set 
artifically low, everyone else just ignores it, maybe gcc should as 
well?

:-(

Even if I could get a change to the OS to set this better, for the next 
1-6 years, users will have the `old' value.

Another possibility would be for the compiler to bump it up by itself 
if it is too small, also icky, but that mirrors what we do with the 
stack currently.

And last, we could just leave everything as is, and tell users to put 
ulimit -d unlimited in their .profile.
