Hi :)

I have had to elevate the limit of processes in the system up to 530 due to=
 programs like opera7 and azureus.

Opera7 opens +-150 processes and azureus (java sub-processes) opens around =
380.

Even with a limit of 530 processes, the table of processes fills and I cann=
ot execute nothing without killing these monsters.

I do not know if it is a problem of the emulation of linux (I am using suse=
91_linux), or of system. I do not believe either that these processes have =
some utility, since they do not consume memory and they are in state ZW.

I am using NetBSD_2.0BETA of september 28. Any comment is appreciated.

Thanks.
