        Hello Matt , At what uptime does one hit this limit ?
uptime
  4:40am up 444 days, 12:58, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
uname -a
Linux filesrv2 2.2.6 #1 SMP Thu Jul 1 20:33:30 PDT 1999 i686 unknown

        Not that that is anything spectacular , just looking for
        rough idea of uptime before hitting the NR_TASKS limit .
                Tia , JimL
