  The really wierd thing about using setrlimit(2) to increase the
number of processes is that the "current" value is system wide, but
the max can be per-process. So, some processes with higher maxproc can
fork() as a given user id, but other processes (such as those started
from cron) *can't* fork. 
  I haven't found a use for this "feature" yet.
