the MaxClients thing won't be a problem for us I don't think.  by default that
remains at 5, and users would have scaled that by now if they ran into low-RAM
situations with 3.0.x.  I also added a warning about that. (MaxClients ==
--max-children in SAland)

I think the patch matches up with what Dean notes; it'll generally run with 1
kid, 2 if there's mail active, and scales up to 5 if things get really busy, by
default.  this patch works a *lot* better, in many ways, btw -- check out what
it looks like on my server after running for nearly a day:

29880 root      17  15 22248 5244  4276 S N   0.0  1.0   0:03 spamd
11505 root      17  15 65336  60M  7180 S N   0.0 12.0   0:44 spamd
28823 root      17  15 29872  25M  7204 S N   0.0  5.1   0:03 spamd

ie. the master proc has only 5MB paged in while still having all the code and
modules preloaded and precompiled, that's very nice; the subprocs have scaled
their RAM usage based on size of messages coming in; there's only two subprocs;
and one of those (the big one) is the one handling all the messages, with the
second having handled only a small amount of overflow, based on the CPU times. 
that all looks very good.

(note however I don't think the reported SHR values are correct on that kernel
as mentioned in prev bugs, so ignore those.)
