kernel/fork.c fork_init() ?

["Iman Darabi" <iman.darabi@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi
 (kernel version : 2.6.17)

 init_task.signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_max = max_threads/2;
     ok .no prob . ( limits for the init_task set at half of max_threads ) .

 init_task.signal->rlim[RLIMIT_NPROC].rlim_cur = max_threads/2;
  why ? . is it necessary ?

thx for you attention .
