Erlang Process Limits !!!

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

>From the R10B-7 readme:

   "The +P flag for 'erl', which sets the maximum number of
   processes allowed to exist at the same, no longer accepts
   values higher than 134217727. (You will still probably run
   out of memory before you'll be able to reach that limit.)"
