a) NR_OPEN is defined in limit.h, and redefined in fs.h ???
b) is it safe to increase the limits in limits.h ?
CHILD_MAX, OPEN_MAX and NR_OPEN come to my mind :
i'm heavily useing threads, currently playing around with 200,
and i always run out of file handles ...
(think of a multi threaded web server under heavy load).

i have already raised themits in task.h, and got no problems ...

thanks for your help.
