ulimit -u worked like a champ. Thanks.

However, I couldn't run more than 4085 processes at a time. I raised
maxusers in kernel config file to 1000, and then 2000, but the hard
limit didn't change at all.

Also I'm wondering why I got the following warning:

$ config KRISHNA
KRISHNA:27: warning: maxusers (1000) > 128
...

Does that imply that NetBSD doesn't scale well enough to serve hundreds
of users on a single machine, or something merely to give user a hint
that there might a mistake w.r.t configuration?
