Been getting some "too many open files" errors from opendir() calls in
leafnode's "fetch" program lately, so I copied these two parameters from
the LINT file into my kernel config, still using a MAXUSERS setting of 10.

Just wondering if the settings used (128 for both) are the default, or did
I actually bump them up by adding these options?  And is increasing
CHILD_MAX really necessary?  I'm inclined to think I really only need to
increase OPEN_MAX, but I did both, just to be sure.
