[DGD] Rlimits weirdness...

  I'm seeing some odd behavior, and the Kernel Library
definition of runtime_rlimits() in the Driver seems to
be the cause.

  An object in /usr/System is permitted to set
maxticks to -1, which will remove all limits on ticks.
 On the other hand, the same object isn't allowed to
(for instance) set the limit to 250,000 repeatedly so
that it can run many consecutive time-limited
operations in the same thread.  Is this for security
reasons and I'm just not getting it?
