Tux: That's good to hear!

This test program:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main() {
        int i;
        char id[320] = {};

        for (i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
                sprintf(id, "%09d", i);
                link("sin.c", id);
        }

        return 0;
}

I expected it to exhaust the tmpfs dirent zone on a low-memory system, where the 
dirent zone limit was less than the system limit on hardlinks. Instead I 
exhausted the vfscache zone: 

panic: vfscache: malloc limit exceeded

(hardlinks are the one of two things in tmpfs that allocate dirents; the other 
allocation is already bounded by the node limits, so its not a problem).
