I understand. The downsides from the limit are very small, after all.

Has anyone tested the older stable kernel releases?
When was the VFS limit added, or is it something RHEL kernels patch out?

It is easy to miss, the EFAULT on the syscall that follows is so obvious.

I've filed a terse report to the Red Hat Bugzilla:
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=814296
Let me know if you wish me to expand on that report.
