Is applying ulimit to pipes a bug?

Oh embarrassment!  I had come to this conclusion because of past experiences
and when I try it now, it doesn't fail.  The circumstantial evidence was
overwhelming... but apparently quite wrong.  Something else may have been at
work; I have no reason to suspect the operating system now.

My apologies for wasting everyone's time and the net bandwidth.
