To have chpst doing the same as `softlimit -a`, you need call it with
the name softlimit:
 # ln -s chpst /usr/local/bin/softlimit
 # /usr/local/bin/softlimit -a ...

Ok, so your system does support RLIMIT_VMEM or RLIMIT_AS, I was afraid
your `softlimit -a` was a no-op.

chpst -m x does the same as softlimit -m x (same as -d x -s x -l x -a x).
So one of -d, -s, -l, causes the problem for you.
