Bingo. So I didn't see any change in behavior, because I hadn't edited
/etc/rc on my machine; the complainants are probably those who had
edited /etc/rc to raise the kern.sysv limits.
I'll add something to the Admin Guide pointing out that OS X updates are
likely to overwrite any manual changes to /etc/rc.
