Thanks a lot!! But, on the way, I came across some other stuff...
#define NR_TASKS 512
#define MAX_TASKS_PER_USER (NR_TASKS/2)
It also says that on an x86 NR_TASKS can be 4092 max.(4090 with APM).
Isnt the process table related to the GDT (atleast 8192 entries)? Then, why
is it limited at 4092/4090 and not 8192. Is this an artificial limit?
      The kernel cant *actually* be occupying all the others, can it?
