Problems with the cpp change after 2000-06-18

[H . J . Lu]

Hi, Zack,

I am not sure if I like the cpp change after 2000-06-18 when cpp keeps
so many files open. The problem is on a 4way SMP machie, I can do

# make MAKE="make -j 8"

in the Linux kernel build. My system file descriptor limit is reached
in minutes. Then other processes on my machine start dying. I know you
put in a fix so that cpp won't die. But it doesn't help other processes.
I think you should put a limit on the number of opened files in cpp.

Thanks.
