I am having this problem now too, when building a huge kernel.  The
maxusers on the kernel I am using (to try to get around this) is 999!  So,
I can't imagine that's it.  I've even tried setting the value of some
things in /src/sys/conf/param.h directly, but can't figure out which one to
change.  The ones that look like they depend on maxusers don't seem to
address this particular problem.  I'm probably looking at the wrong place.

I don't think it's my shell because I'm running ksh.
