Sorry?  Increasing the maximum to an absurdly large value is not a
`correct approach'.  Do it properly and make it truly dynamic.

The last thing we need is a u-area with a u_ofile[2000] declaration.
How much ram will be blown away by those 2000 (struct file *)'s?

And how many programs actually require 2000 open files?  Very few.
