Yes, maxuproc is configured into the 'system' device sys0.

Enter, at superuser level, lsattr -H -E -l sys0 to display
parameters and values
>(40 is a small number for X applications)
maxuproc default is 40...

Funny, it's not there. I checked too. However, the documentation
for lsattr is available, just nothing much on sys0.
Use chdev to change the parameters. For example:
chdev -l sys0 -a maxuproc=NNN You know what to do for NNN :)
Obviously, you can do this (lsattr & chdev) to all devices.

Too bad the US Congress doesn't read the news, it could learn something.
