So here goes the signal pending limitation. The default value is "max_signals/2", 
which I think is good enough.

I'll go see the message queue limits tomorrow.

This adds a new "RLIMIT_SIGPENDING" limit, which is used to limit
per-uid pending signals. Currently an unpriviledged user can queue 
more than maximum of allowed signals and cause overall system 
malfunction.
