In the general case, you can increase the size of the mutex pool.  However, 
since this is per-uid for the socket buffer resource limits, that won't help 
you as the same user will always contend with itself.  We'll need to think 
about this some -- good activity for the plane today :-).

Nice work so far, btw.  Sounds like we're making real headway!
