When I become root with

$ su -

I should wind up with the same ulimits I would have if I had actually 
logged in as root. Otherwise, there are lots of unpleasant side effects 
if I restart a daemon or run an apt-get dist-upgrade from that shell as 
the new processes inherit the lower limits of the user I was before 
becoming root.

(For example, the CPU time limit is particularly troublesome as it 
causes daemons to mysteriously quit without warning).
