Issue #25764: Skip the test on OS X

vadmium · vadmium · commit f7fdbdab5b0e · 2015-12-05T09:51:52.000Z
The OS X buildbots were failing at the second setrlimit() call with EPERM, as
if they were trying to raise the hard limit. The call should be keeping the
hard limit the same and raising the soft limit back to its original value, so
I don't understand the failure.
