Has anyone tried if 0.99.10 works by default with openwall and grsec
kernels where it used to have problems? I changed this from 0 to 1 some
time ago when someone said it still didn't work.

Maybe I should make this configurable from config file. The whole point
of it is to prevent login processes from forking, but there doesn't seem
to be any good way to do that. The "1" there specifies the maximum
number of processes for the whole user, not the maximum child processes
for this one..
