Some users have been having problems with utilities like cp or dd
dumping core when they try to copy a file that's too large for the
destination filesystem (typically, > 4gb). Apparently, some defunct
standards required SIGXFSZ to be sent in such circumstances, but SUS
only requires/allows it for when a written file exceeds the process's
resource limits. I'd like to limit SIGXFSZs to the bare minimum required
by SUS.
