I neglected to mention that the kernel has been configured with "maxusers
128", which I assumed would create a vastly sufficient number of processes
for the entire system (2068, according to the formula in param.c for this
particular kernel). When looking through kernel include files, it
appeared that there is a limit of 40 procs per user ("#define MAXUPRC
CHILD_MAX" in /sys/sys/param.h, where CHILD_MAX is 40 in syslimits.h), but
I was hoping there was a way around that. Perhaps I have to change the
include files and rebuild the kernel?

That will be nice!
