What is the real problem you are trying to solve?

If it is that the processes eat CPU then you should instead limit
the CPU time a process can use. A normal process almost never
eats more than an hour but defunct eats that in notime.

This is what we do in the wrapper for netscape that we had
problems with.

# Make sure it doesn't chew up _all_ of the server...
if [ X"$RUNMODE" != X"$NS6DEBUG" ]; then
    ulimit -c 0;
fi

ulimit -d 524288;
ulimit -v 524288;
ulimit -t 7200;
