I do think the default value in the documentation should be fixed but
if there's a clear problem with raising these it really needs to be
fixed. Google either of the sysctl names and look at all the people
running into issues and needing to raise them. It's only going to
become more common to raise these with people trying to use lots of
fine-grained sandboxing. Process-per-request is back in style.

So we should make the count saturate instead, then?  That's going to
be interesting.
