I'm guessing *almost" all the scriptlimits code was removed. Something generated the error for Dr. Hawkins.
Maybe that part that sets the limits to zero is broken. Maybe some file was created with the same name as the old limits file. I'm guessing that something smashed some RAM and set the limits to nonzero.
But, you are right, even the limits (and all limit checking) can be fully removed and the function just return a fixed string.
