DJGPP does actually have getrlimit. The special config[.h].in for MSDOS lies and says it hasn't. However, this is a white lie, because getrlimit on DJGPP doesn't support RLIMIT_AS/RLIMIT_DATA, which is what we want, so we still want the workaround code. The following patch simply reverses the order of a couple of tests in vm-limit.c so that being on MSDOS overrides HAVE_GETRLIMIT.

Is it OK to install?
