I think you might misunderstand what ulimit is.  If you set certain limits,
described in the setrlimit linux man page, such as the maximum size of the
process's virtual memory, as would happen when using bash's builtin ulimit
command, requests for allocation of memory beyond the limit will fail.  

It doesn't change the reporting of available memory, it would in most cases
lead to the offending process being terminated once it had requested enough
memory beyond the set limit.
