Not in this case, it is because after 'su -' userland tries to set the RLIMIT_FSIZE to unlimited with with the constant 0x7fffffff which is different from the one kernel uses internal 0xffffffff (see http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0111.1/0036.html and all next messages). If this is more a gnulib or kernel mistake ? I don't know, but the kernel uses sys_old_getrlimit and gives 0x7fffffff back to userland. I think in this case the kernel should do the same in the other direction (leafing a hole form 0x7fffffff to 0xffffffff where you could not set the FSIZE).
