We're running into what appears to be a 256-process-per-user limit on one
of our webservers, due to the number of processes running as a specific
user for our application.  I'd like to increase the process limit, and
*THINK* that to do so i need to increase NR_TASKS in
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/tasks.h.

Is this correct?  What other things do I need to watch out for when making
this modification?

Also, where can this limit be changed in 2.4.x?

Thanks ahead of time.
