If this occurrs it is not that big a deal to fix. the MAXUPROC and
NFILE parameters in the kernel can be upped with little impact to the
system as long as your users behave themselves.  I have a few systems
where we run an enourmous number of tasks all under the informix id (
a supervisory id for the informix database product ) and have hard
wired these values to rather obscenely large numbers.
