I have my desktops' maxusers set to 32 or 64. So does mine. It just so happens that this started out as 3.1 kernel and slowly worked its way up to 3.2 status.

Hmpf. Not even a .h. And that for a #define. Tsk, tsk <g>. Still, that only shows the ifndef case, not the #define itself. So... Hey, so that's where that dump went to. GNOME caused an internal compiler error you see. Besides that dump a "grep -R MAXFILES *" in "/usr/src/sys" didn't show up a thing. Barring the param.c case of course. Guess that means that MAXFILES can be set in the kernel configuration if so inclined. Not my cup of thee. Guess I'll bump the maxusers to the current default. Like the proverbial 640K, that ought to be enough for everybody <g>. Guess that also exhausts this issue. Thanks for your efforts!
