Subject: Recompile with maxusers 100 has no effect? Can't run more then 38 processes?

In trying to recompile 2.1.7 the maxusers options seems to have no effect.
I've set it to 100 and still if I run more then 38 processes I get the error:
"bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable"
Might I be hitting some silly max process per user quota? -Almost all 38 are
owned by one user, me. If so, where can I adjust it or turn it off?
If it helps, here is a copy of my kernal config file:
