Well, it might be confusing that a limit of `0` is not different from a limit of `1`. Especially since someone might think that a limit of `0` means "no processes AT ALL", which is wrong. Although, I guess they should've just RTFM'd in that case. -- Aleksa Sarai (cyphar) www.cyphar.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
