  Yes, this is the default limitation.  However, it can be changed.  As root,
  use the command:
      chdev -l sys0 -a maxproc=##         <== where ## is the number of
                                              procs you want per user
  Use the command:
      lsattr -l sys0 -E
  to see all the attributes of sys0 and to check your change.
