While looking around at some other stuff, I came across this in my build
directory...
the file param.c contains

#ifndef NPROC
#define NPROC (20 + 16 * MAXUSERS)
#endif
int     maxproc = NPROC;

So I guess it is changed with MAXUSERS in your config file.

I'm by no means even a tiny bit of an expert on this, so I'd wait for a
while to
see if anyone tells you I'm wildly wrong *grin*.

Nigel
