aren't kern.maxprocperuid and kern.maxproc (I think it's these sysctl values) too small now that dashboard is in town?

They've always been too small. I find it really easy to hit the limit in "normal" desktop use - I tend to have a lot of terminals open, and find it difficult to find some processes that I'm happy to terminate when I do hit the limit. I've had it in Radar for a while (#3537659) but last I heard there hadn't been any effort to address it.


Thankfully the Darwin source releases have been very punctual for some time now (thanks Kevin!) so for each OS update I build a custom kernel with CHILD_MAX (xnu/bsd/sys/syslimits.h) increased from 100 to 500 and hack in a "ulimit -u" invocation in /etc/rc or somewhere (there being no login.conf or the like to be able to set it for login sessions).

Ian
