Hi Vedrin,

Could you restart the smoke-ping-bombing (I like to call it that !) on our
server. Did some mods - want to see how fast the resources are exhausted.

For your information it is a p4 machine - so I have put the acceptable
number of pending tasks at the grand total of 5 ! Any tasks submitted will
be refused if the pending tasks already are over this limit. Hope this helps
it hold out for acceptable time periods ...

Cheers
Surajit
