Hello Logan, I have tried to reproduce this issue on the fresh rhel6, 
but it didn't exhibit. I explicitly tried oval-definitions which query 
the limits.conf with no luck.

Hence, I conclude the world hard must be present somewhere on your 
system. OpenSCAP picks it and based on the content it compares it as 
integer.

The errors are almost always printed at the end.
