Dempsky's does.  I as yet don't even have a patch, just a modified
source control checkout (of zinq-djbdns).  In the interests of
recruiting a guinea pig or two, I could generate a diff relative to
stock djbdns-1.05 or whatever else.

Not yet.  I disabled it for my initial test.  I'm not sure it's a
problem if you have a 64-bit unsigned long.  I think the trouble is
the unsigned int in alloc.c.  I'll definitely want to make sure
softlimit works before a public release, though.
