So I noticed on my pmax that I have more processes and file descriptors
than on my alpha.  Hmm!  Looking at the default maxusers for each arch
reveals:

	mvme68k		4
	sun3		4
	amiga		8
	arm26		8
	hpcmips		8
	luna68k		8
	news68k		8
	pc532		8
	vax		8
	x68k		8
	atari		16
	mac68k		16
	mipsco		16
	mmeye		16
	newsmips	16
	next68k		16
	alpha		32
	arc		32
	arm32		32
	bebox		32
	cobalt		32
	hp300		32
	i386-mp		32
	i386		32
	macppc		32
	ofppc		32
	prep		32
	sparc		32
	pmax		64

Listing the common CPU familes shows

	mvme68k	sun3			 4
	amiga luna68k news68k x68k	 8
	atari mac68k next68k 		16
	hp300				32

	hpcmips				 8
	mipsco newsmips			16
	arc cobalt			32
	pmax				64

	bebox macppc ofppc prep		32

Is there any rhyme or reason for the numbers chosen?

Simon.
