System: NetBSD proxy2.clinet.fi 1.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.3_ALPHA (CLINETALPHA) #17: Thu Oct 23 21:32:05 EEST 1997 root@proxy2.clinet.fi:/usr/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/CLINETALPHA alpha

Large alpha configuration

>Description:

sys/syslimits.h hard-codes CHILD_MAX and OPEN_MAX.  These probably should
be overrideable in kernel configuration.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run a process- (X terminal) or file-hungry (proxy) application ?

>Fix:

Add 

#ifndef CHILD_MAX
#endif

#ifndef OPEN_MAX
#endif

around the definitions of the said variables sys/syslimits.h ?
