Okay.  But then I have no idea what's going wrong.  You can try adding
getrlimit() call to hogger to see whether the soft/hard limit has
indeed been imposed before exec() by procd.  BTW, the format of limits
params allows setting both soft and hard limit for each resource type.
As in the following

                procd_set_params limits "data=4000 8000"

If only one value was given, only the soft limit is supposed to be
changed with the hard limit left as it is.

My bad, should be RLIMIT_AS.
