Hmmm, that brings up an interesting point to me:
These are all OS software (the one's mentioned w/limits),
don't we have someone in the group skilled enough to look
at the source and make a quick assessment as to what it would
take to lift/modify these limits (if at all)? Isn't this one reason why
we like having the source around?
