Okay, I understood what you said. But that doesn't help me any when I can
no longer open windows on the desktop. In my previous systems I just upped
the number nprocs and maxprocs to somthing reasonable like 8000 and 16000
respectively, relinked the kernel and all was well. In OS X I'm lucky to
get 40 windows open. I would expect at least to be able to open up windows
to the X maximum of 120 or so. It's a real pain not to be able to have to
shut one window down whenever you want to open another one. Threaded
applications don't help since there seems to be a very low limit on those
too.
I would sure like to know how to overcome what is a major problem for me
(without compromising the stability of the system).
Thanks,
Jerry
