I've read the comments in /usr/src/sys/kern/sys_pipe.c, but couldn't see 
anything in there ... I'm up to 32M (as set through /boot/loader.conf) and 
am still hitting the max after a period of time (latest was 7 hours) ...

Figuring that the last time I checked, I was using something like 7000 
pipes, @ 16k each, I should be setting it closer to 128M, and that is 
assuming no 64k pipes ...

So, is there an 'upper max' that it won't allow me to set it past?

Thanks ...
