Yes, the lower limit only applies to the secondary process.
But any application using secondary processes will have the problem;
i.e it is not that primary gets 16 and the secondary only sees 8.

Lets keep MAX_QUEUES at 16 for now, and let users see the warning.
For 24.11 up the max passed fd's to what Linux allows.
