  1. I do something similar, but I use .orig instead of -orig.

  2. Since I can't find where anyone else said it I'll say that a 16-bit value has 65536 distinct values, 0 still counts, but what you probably meant to say is that you count from 0 to 65535, which would be true. At least two others mentioned the 256K number, and that it's likely 4*64K, which may or may not be the reasoning, but using a power of two is generally a good idea when setting limits. I also wouldn't just arbitrarily increase the limit to 2G as that could result in one application eating all the RAM, unfortunately, sometimes programmers suck and there may be no solution if the program in question is closed source.

  3. It's so one process doesn't hog all the resources. When something crashes that you have the source code to it's easily traced and you have a decent chance of diagnosing and fixing it. With all of these closed source games that people run now days it makes it more difficult to gauge.
