Thanks, little step towards  removing special cases.. processes are still
started with a soft limit of 1024 fd by systemd just to cover applications
like this that in a fortify_source=3
world are aborted by the C library before flying unicorns take over the

This limit is unreasonable low for todays use.

Would you take a patch that triggers warnings when this functions are used
