getrlimit.2: Document Linux's nonstandard treatment or RLIMIT_CPU soft limit
...
Upon encountering the RLIMIT_CPU soft limit when a SIGXCPU handler
has been installed, Linux invokes the signal handler *and* raises
the soft limit by one second. This behavior repeats until the
limit is encountered. No other implementation that I tested
(Solaris 10, FreeBSD 9.0, OpenBSD 5.0) does this, and it seems
unlikely to be POSIX-conformant. The (Linux-specific)
RLIMIT_RTTIME soft limit exhibits similar behavior.
