Ok, thanks.  We may be stalled temporarily in that case.

I ran the repro case (with some simplifications) from the GitHub
thread using 'strace' and grepped for rlimit-related syscalls:

  # on arm64, this currently replicates the problem using debian bookworm
  $ strace babeljs --config-file $PWD/babel.config.json --compact
false --source-maps inline -d tests5 auto_tests 2>&1 | grep -i rlimit

All of the resulting calls (on an ARM64 host) are to the 'prlimit64'
syscall and have a zero exit-code (success).
