## Kernel:  linux-2.2.18
## Author:  Ned Ludd
## Location: http://linbsd.com/linux/tasks-2.2.18.patch
## Support: none
## Bugs: 
##	I have noticed that programs such as Eterm take a shit with such a high
##	FD_SETSIZE to get around this as a normal user type 'ulimit -Sn 256'
##	or modify your /etc/login
## 
## This patch just sets the kernels hard limits a tad higher than default.
## For servers that need more than 512 proccess running, or procces's with alot 
## of connections such as ircd servers.
