>Description:
In 'etc/afpd/ofork.c', if getrlimit is used to set rl.rlim_cur, rl.rlim_cur
apparently gets reset - such that the calculation
nforks = (rl.rlim_cur - 10) / 2;
produces -6.
I resolved this by adding a second round of 'getrlimit', after which I was
able to mount filesystems on my mac.
It may actually be that 'setrlimit' is writing to the rlimit structure,
which I would find surprising and maybe that's the actual problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
add some debugging code to ofork.c.
