[issue6083] Reference counting bug in setrlimit

["Martin v. Löwis" <report@bugs.python.org> at psf.upfronthosting.co.za]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

IMO, any refcounting bug has the potential as a security risk. So I
think we should deprecate this with a warning, and eventually remove it,
as billm proposes.

It's probably debatable whether to backport the warning to 2.6 or
earlier; I think we shouldn't, as many applications are probably valid.
