Not exactly, there's a trap: Some models have a /etc/security/limits.conf which might ulimit some stuff even though you don't have any direct calls to ulimit. I had already encountered this several times and wondered if I might consider this a misbehavior. Anyway, these limits don't apply to root then in the model. I don't know if this problem is based on that.
