I had a look at /vmunix and this is true.  But it still doesn't
seem to work.  For one thing, we got "proc: table is full"
messages with that _one_ user logged on.  But also I used
adb to temporarily change it down to 7 (!!), rebooted and
it had _no_ effect.  I could go well over my "limit" of 7.
Any suggestions / comments ?
