Everytime I start Ardour2 I get this message:

WARNING: Your system has a limit for maximum amount of locked memory. 
This might cause Ardour to run out of memory before your system runs out 
of memory.

You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally 
controlled by /etc/security/limits.conf


My "limits.conf" is this:

@audio - rtprio 99
@audio - memlock 250000
@audio - nice -10

I have a core2duo 6300 and 2gb of ram.....I have tried increasing 
"@audio - memlock" to 1500000. Didn't help... same message everytime I
to run Ardour2......The program seems to run ok though. Any thoughts or 
suggestions ??
