The reclimit system test started consistently failing on CentOS 7 [1] and Fedora 25 [2]. In 2016, we also received a report about an apparently identical issue on Solaris [3]. Apart from that, at least one other failure mode was triggered in the past [4]. Failures aside, the test originally took about 10 seconds to complete and now it needs over a minute.
