Can you ship me a copy of your /boot/loader.conf (and
/boot/loader.conf.local, if it's not otherwise empty) with your
kern.maxproc addition? If you need to redact parts, please try to
leave the format otherwise intact using the following patterns:

key="secret value" -> key="<secret>"
key=secretnumber -> key=<secretnumber>

Note that key=secretnumber formatted lines (no quotes) do have to
actually have only numerics on the right hand side, generally.

Thanks,
