try to compare limits for your user before and after pam upgrade and
see if they change;
on my machine I have:

not sure about SysV, but on runit we are not enforcing any limits
for services or logged in users, so I think we inherit values from the
kernel? Yeah, reading the message from PAM maintainer, I guess for
logged in users pam can change such values..
