>Description:
My kernel config file contains
options CHILD_MAX=150 # Manually adjusted, sys/syslimits.h tweaked
Unless I also tweak sys/syslimits.h this will break the compilation.
This is so that a single user ID can have more than the default
80 simultanous processes.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
Surround the definition of CHILD_MAX in sys/syslimits.h with an
#ifndef / #endif pair (?)
