- it is not necessary to recompile emacs if you have the kernel source.
- until you can get a new emacs binary, you can change the definition of
- NR_OPEN in limits.h to 32 and then recompile the kernel, since kernel
- source is easier to come by than emacs source. this is only a temporary
- fix, but it works.
