Comment:

 (In [10633]) Fixes #1076. This just makes MythTV stop trying to write to a
 file once it has it a file size resource limit.

 The signal is ignored rather than doing a coredump, and a useful error
 message is printed out once for each file which hits it's resource limit.
 This can be triggered when the mythbackend user has a ulimit set, if the c
 library is configured for 32 bit file pointers, or if the filesystem does
 not support "large" files.
