Hello All
          I tried to execute a program which creates 8152 process.(
i=0; while( i<14) i++ fork(); )  with ulimit 8200. This program
created 8152 processes and then stopped and came back to command
prompt. this proves that my machine do have sufficient resources to
create 8000 processes.

Perhaps, but it does not necessarily result in 8000+ processes
all in existence at the same time.  Unless there's more to that
program than the one line you show above.
